TimesLive reports that the Acting National Commissioner of the SA Police Service (SAPS), Lieutenant-General Lesetja Mothiba‚ has strongly condemned the recent armed attacks on police stations that led to the deaths of two constables and the wounding of a sergeant.
Mothiba said: “Attacks on members of the South African Police Service are unacceptable and armed assaults on police stations should be condemned by all sectors of our society. A police station is a place where community members go to seek help or to report a crime; these premises are safe havens for victims and the communities we serve. It is shocking that the criminal element enter with firearms and injure and kill police officials in this manner.” He called on communities to support the SAPS and assist it in “ensuring the safety of our officers by reporting any information on the thugs who carry out attacks on or murders of our members”.
