Cebisa Silwana’s Tragic Death at Police Station | Johannesburg News
Description
A grieving family is demanding justice after Cebisa Silwana, a 42-year-old mother of three who’d recently survived a stillbirth and C-section, died at Muizenberg police station. Her sister says officers arrived violently at their home during a sibling dispute over social media — not involving Cebisa — and forcibly took her despite her fragile health. Witnesses claim officers handcuffed her, ignored CPR attempts, and even mocked her condition. An ambulance was called, but she died shortly after. A community protest erupted, calling for a thorough investigation, as police now face internal scrutiny over the officer involved — and the family insists Cebisa would be alive if not for the intervention.
