News24 reports that National Police Commissioner General Kehla Sitole has been asked to brief Parliament on security measures at police stations and to protect officers.
Chairperson of the Police Portfolio Committee, Francois Beukman, said on Sunday: “It is evident that some criminal syndicates are targeting police stations that are not well secured to obtain firearms for criminal activity. Furthermore, the deployment of sufficient members during the weekend and night shifts is also paramount and station and cluster commanders should on an on-going basis monitor the effectiveness of security measures at police stations.” Condemning the killing of two police officers in Delft and Khayelitsha on Friday, Beukman said it was clear that the motivation had been to steal guns. He also mentioned concerns with two recent attacks at police stations in the Eastern Cape. Beukman said the committee was concerned that there had been apparent delays to plans to install CCTV cameras, upgrade perimeter fencing and install secure entrance gates at police stations.
