Gauteng police are condemning the criminality involved during the protest held at various areas around Tshwane since Sunday.
Gauteng Provincial Commissioner Lt General Deliwe De Lange said anyone found committing crime will be arrested immediately. Already cases of murder, malicious damage to property, intimidation have been opened.
So far, the province has established a joint operation centre that will manage pilicing in these areas. The centre will consist of roleplayers from all law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders. All police members including those who are on rest days have been mobilised and will assist with policing in these areas. These members will also include members from the divisions at head office.
Police are appealing to community members to remain calm and not to be involved in criminal activities.
