The lobby group Afriforum says their legal team will be assisting two people who were arrested during the lockdown to lay civil claims against the authorities.
This after both of them were acquitted in court.
Legal Manager for Afriforum Marnus Kamfer says the first person, who had a travelling permit, was arrested at a roadblock by SAPS after police found an old pair of kudu horns in his boot.
He says the second man was arrested because he had cigarettes in his possession.
Both men were arrested because they had allegedly violated lockdown regulations.
Kamfer says they decided to represent the accused as they believe the arrests were nothing but an abuse of power.
