imagine the feeling that you could just look at the film or digital i know. many migrants from other african countries go to south africa seeking better job prospects. but after a spate of deadly riots and attacks in september many say they no longer feel safe here. that's why these protesters in cape. town have been calling on the un to move them to another country. last week the un refugee agency issued a statement saying false messages were being circulated about resettlement and that only a very small number of refugees and asylum seekers met the criteria but that didn't stop the protests here. i after wednesday's police operation remaining demonstrators headed on.

justice and violence prevention program at the institute for security studies i began by asking him whether the police's use of force was proportionate. well what we saw is quite the stressing and certainly we do have a problem generally in south africa with the just important use of force but i think for most of what i've seen in this instance what he's done to stand out there for many days have been negotiations trying to get people to leave that area there where they easily there was a court order benchley instructing people to leave and the police only call in as a very last resort and even the police try to negotiate to give people leave peacefully so only once all possible means of getting people to leave peacefully had being utilized the police start using direct force to try and clear that area and eventually arrested 100 people not you said that the police have been using force for some time now what's the problem exactly a lack of proper training or is there a deeper problem here well there's
7:37 pm
a deeper problem in that the police believe that using force is an issue part of the job and i think in many instances they tend to use too much force when it comes to public order policing the units that are involved in this particular operation they do not have enough resources they need 12213000 trained officers and currently we have around 5600 and those officers are have seen a big increase of public violence a destructive incidence of incidents that they have to respond to by about 140 percent in the last 5 years so they are under a lot of strain and in many cases that means that a mountain too quick to use force to solve these situations quickly rather than a more protective and less force who didn't. well that is one type of problem but to do routine your recess that many police officers hold off for because it seems clear that's how play their role here. it is true that my research i have found
7:38 pm
police officers do hold hours in a phone we can after serving attitudes in this situation are a given there are so many journalists given that there was a large number of people to the public who are sympathizing with those migrants knows. that there were being very careful to try and act as much as possible in the procedure so i did not see instances where you want to read it was a bit too much mostly used and i'm not sure how this instance whether that's as well because it ok now a public violence is that africa is rising and foreign nationals are particularly vulnerable what can and should be done quickly well the government has rolled out the national action plan to combat racism racial discrimination xenophobia and other tolerance and there's a number of interventions so party policing but i think we need to shift the attitudes of people even so that we will solve this problem. derek knew how head of a justice and violence prevention program how this is used for security studies in
