Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) has hit back at Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema for his threats to the police. Malema threatened that he would visit police officers in their homes and fight them.
He made these threats because the EFF's party members and women were allegedly ill-treated by the police. Malema said on Sunday that the police abused EFF members in their latest protests in Senekal, Free State and sided with the white community during protests in Brackenfell, Cape Town.
“If SA police want a fight they must declare it. We will treat them the same way we treated them in the 80s," he said.
Malema added that he would fight them inside their own houses and also fight against their families. The spokesperson of POPCRU, Richard Mamabolo said that Malema's comments about fighting with the police were irresponsible.

"He has this time around taken his insults to another level, wherein he is encouraging direct violence against members of the SAPS and their families,” said Mamabolo.
He said that Malema was indirectly calling for lawlessness and added that Malema's inciting of violence against the lives of law enforcement was extremely uncalled-for.
