Eastern Cape SAPS issue warning to Protestors in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The South African Police Service management in Nelson Mandela Bay has strongly condemned the serious public violence acts that were committed yesterday 6 June 2017 in Ikamvelihle and Wells Estate as well as on the N2 freeway which serves as the main route in and out of Nelson Mandela Bay.
The Motherwell Cluster Commander, Major General Dawie Rabie has strongly voiced his concerns that the difference between protests and the throwing of stones and flammable objects at moving vehicles are the risk of serious injury and possible deaths of innocent motorists. “We will review possible video evidence obtained and aim to identify the suspects and instigators involved in these public violence cases and bring these perpetrators to book.”
The Provincial Commissioner of The Eastern Cape Lt Gen Liziwe Ntshinga added her voice to emphasise that unlawfulness will not be tolerated and additional resources have been sent to assist local police in containing public violence in the Bay.”
The Saps must protect the rights of all citizens and we will not tolerate protestors to damage property or injure innocent parties.
Protestors will be arrested and held accountable,” she said.
