Independent Commission for Human Rights Raises Concerns Over Money Offer in Man B Case
The Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) has released a statement on its page after receiving new information about the ongoing Man B case.
According to the Commission, community advocate Mr. President Onganyobekiyo received WhatsApp messages from Man B’s office showing that money was offered in an attempt to “resolve” the matter. The messages mention an amount of R80,000, and later an additional R50,000.
The Commission also noted that the messages referenced the mayor, suggesting that the mayor might be aware of the situation. However, it is still unclear in what role or capacity the mayor is involved.
Onganyobekiyo refused the offer, saying he would not accept money connected to people’s pain.
“I will not take money meant to silence this case,” he said.
“Whether the mayor is involved or not, I stand with the truth.”
