Anti-vax protest duo bust

Two men were arrested at an anti-vaxx protest on the Sea Point Promenade on Saturday.

The protest, attended by about 100 people, was the fifth in Cape Town this year, where protesters were against mandatory vaccines and vaccine passports.

Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk said the two men, aged 25 and 51, were arrested on charges of failing to wear a mask in public.

“Both were released on a warning, and will appear in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court on 17 November, on the mentioned charges,” said Van Wyk.

Noleen Glasgow, a drama teacher from Plumstead, was injured at the protest, while defending another protester who had a child with them.

Glasgow was struck with a baton by a cop, reports the Weekend Argus, and said she couldn’t believe the police would hurt someone with a child.

“They realised it was a scam. We can do it too.”
