As protests con­tin­ue over the Joshua Sama­roo and Ka­ia Sealy case, lo­cal en­ter­tain­ers have be­gun to use their so­cial me­dia plat­forms to speak out over what they have de­scribed as an in­jus­tice.

Protests have been led by Alyssa Phillip, Sealy’s for­mer school­mate, since Feb­ru­ary, days af­ter the Jan­u­ary 20 po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing and con­fronta­tion. Since then, the ac­tion has mush­roomed and gained mo­men­tum fol­low­ing the an­nounce­ment of crim­i­nal charges to be laid against Sealy, in­clud­ing manslaugh­ter aris­ing out of Sama­roo’s death.

The de­ci­sion sent shock­waves through­out some quar­ters of the coun­try.
