The South African Police Service in Limpopo says it has placed security forces on high alert to prevent any form of lawlessness ahead of planned protest action directed against foreign nationals set to begin on Monday.
The Provincial Commissioner of Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, issued a stern warning that police will act decisively against any unlawful gatherings, intimidation, or damage to property linked to the planned demonstrations.
“Any unauthorised gathering, and or march that seeks to disrupt public order and unlawful action resulting in intimidation, violence or destruction of property will be dealt with decisively without any delay by the police,” Hadebe said.
She emphasised that law enforcement authorities will not allow disruptions to public safety or daily life, and assured communities that policing operations will be intensified across the province to maintain order.
