DURBAN – The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has condemned the circulation of a video threatening the shutdown of police stations. In the video, which is circulating in KwaZulu-Natal, an individual threatens to close all police stations on 16 June.

“Whilst we are aware that this is an old video, we appeal to members of the public to refrain from circulating this video as this will be playing into the hands of mischievous individuals who clearly want spread panic amongst the community. We want to reassure the public that we will not allow anyone to close any police station in this province and we will act decisively if any attempts are made to disrupt services offered to the community at our police stations,” he said.
