A South African man has been charged with attempted murder after throwing his six-month-old daughter off the top of a shack in an illegal township to stop it being demolished.

The 38-year-old had taken the baby and climbed on top of their home in protest against dozens of shacks at a township in Kwadwesi, near Port Elizabeth on South Africa's eastern cape coast being lined up for destruction.

As half-a-dozen policemen lined up on the ground below him and one climbed up to try to talk him down, the man dangled the baby over the edge by her ankle, before swinging her over the edge.

Township protesters could be heard egging the agitated dad on with chants of: 'Throw, throw, throw'.

Fortunately, the girl was caught by the policemen standing below, and did not suffer any injuries.

The drama happened after 90 shacks built illegally at the Joe Slovo township in Kwadwesi were ordered to be demolished.

The South African Police Service had been sent in to ensure the safety of the demolition team as 150 protesters began serious rioting throwing bricks and closing off roads with burning tyres.

As calm was being restored this man climbed onto the roof of his shack with his child and threatened to throw her to her death if the demolishers did not back off and leave his home alone.

When negotiators failed to talk him down a rescue plan was launched by police which ended successfully with the fathers' arrest and the safe recovery of the toddler who was thrown off the shack.

Police spokesman Captain Andre Beetge told local media: 'At about 10.40am a 38-year-old man climbed onto the roof of one of the structures and held a one-year-old girl in his hands.

'This was done to force the team not to demolish the structure.

'Due to the dangerous threat to the safety of the child police set out a plan to rescue the little girl and arrest the male and one of our officers successfully caught the girl as she was flung.

'The 38-year-old father has been charged with the attempted murder of his daughter and the case is being handled by the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences unit'.

Captain Beetge said the baby has been handed back to the 35-year-old mother and their case is being overseen by local social services to ensure the child is in a place of safety.

The Motherwell Cluster Commander Major General Dawie Rabie praised the police actions.

He said: 'It is shocking that a father would attempt to sacrifice his own child for the sake of delaying the demolishing of an illegal shack structure but thankfully the girl was saved.

'The father will face the full force of the Law for his actions' he said.

The demolition team then moved in and successfully destroyed 90 structures that had been built illegally on unowned land.

Oh i see ... its not okay to throw the baby ... but its okay to destroy the babies house. Is what I'm taking from this story. And I'm anticipating more stories about violence coming out of South Africa because ... well because.
 
Houses, belongings, are temporary. A baby girl's life, though? That donor (who will NEVER be an actual father) needs feeding to alligators one toe at a time.

They could always find somewhere else to live. He couldn't resurrect his dead daughter... :banghead:
 
They shoulld have locked him back in his crappy squatters shack and levelled it with him inside.
Then rehome the child.
 
You would :rolleyes:


What ever that is supposed to mean ... I don't know.
[doublepost=1523792272,1523791895][/doublepost]Wow ... look at the cop with his gun trained on the crowd ... SICK, SAD.

And they wonder why white farmers are bing murdered there ...?

A South African man who was pictured throwing his baby off a roof during a protest has walked free from court.

The 38-year-old man, who's name has not been revealed to protect the identity of the child, was charged with attempted murder after throwing his daughter off the top of a shack in an illegal township to stop it being demolished.

He had taken the baby and climbed on top of their home in protest against dozens of shacks at a township in Kwadwesi, near Port Elizabeth on South Africa 's eastern cape coast being lined up for destruction.

Today he received a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to child abuse in the New Brighton Magistrate's Court after the state dropped charges of attempted murder.

He was fined 5,000 rand (£264.90) and handed a sentence of one year in jail, suspended for five years.

Fortunately, the girl was caught by the policemen standing below, and did not suffer any injuries.
