The Issue
Justice for Julie Mogotsi and Lazarus Maphala
We are calling for a full, independent, and transparent investigation into the shooting involving Julie Mogotsi and Lazarus Maphala.
According to the allegations surrounding this incident, Julie Mogotsi and Lazarus Maphala were shot during an encounter involving a police officer. Tragically, Julie Mogotsi lost her life, leaving her family, friends, and community devastated. Lazarus Maphala survived the incident and also deserves justice and a fair investigation into what occurred.
No family should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one without answers. Every person deserves equal protection under the law, and any use of force by law enforcement must be investigated thoroughly, impartially, and transparently.
We call on the relevant authorities to:
- Conduct a prompt, independent, and impartial investigation.
- Ensure that all available evidence is properly examined.
- Hold anyone found responsible accountable in accordance with the law.
- Keep the families informed of the progress of the investigation.
- Deliver justice without unnecessary delay.
By signing this petition, you are supporting the families of Julie Mogotsi and Lazarus Maphala in their call for truth, accountability, and justice. Together, we can urge the authorities to ensure that this matter is handled fairly and transparently, and that justice is served.
