KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli commends law enforcement for their swift action following a tuck shop break-in amid anti-immigration protests.
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli has commended law enforcement agencies for the swift arrest of five suspects accused of breaking into a tuck shop in Woody Glen, near Hammarsdale, as authorities remain on high alert during nationwide anti-illegal immigration demonstrations on Tuesday.
The arrests come as government intensifies security operations across the province amid concerns that peaceful protests could be exploited by criminals to commit acts of looting and vandalism.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Ntuli praised police and security personnel for their rapid response to the incident and reaffirmed the provincial government's commitment to maintaining law and order.
“The arrest in Woody Glen is a stern warning to everyone that we will not tolerate any acts of criminality. We cannot and will not allow anarchy and lawlessness to be the order of the day,” said Ntuli.
