Cape Town – Muizenberg and Steenberg SAPS stations will be investigated by the Western Cape Police Ombudsman (WCPO), Mr. JJ Brand, after “incidents of police inefficiencies”.
This was announced by Community Safety MEC, Albert Fritz, who said he was satisfied with the announcement.
Fritz wrote to the WCPO on May 11, 2020, requesting that an investigation be conducted following unprofessional conduct at both police stations towards several residents.
“In correspondence received from the WCPO, it was stated that a complaint was filed for the Muizenberg incident and was deemed to be within the mandate of the WCPO in terms of Section 16 (1) and Section 17 (2) read with Section Western 15 Cape Community Security Act, 2013 – Act No. 3 of 2013. It was stated that the WCPO will provide comments on the investigation in due course, ”he said.
It was further claimed that the plaintiff in the Steenberg incident filed a complaint directly with the WCPO office.
Fritz said: “I urge all members of the public who have experienced police inefficiencies or unprofessional conduct at any police station in the province to immediately report to the Western Cape Police Ombudsman. This can be done by calling 021 483 0669 or sending an email [email protected]”
He added that each person has a responsibility to “flatten the curve.”
“We need to comply with the law and maintain a safe distance at all times. You should stay home if you can and you should avoid all meetings, because this is how the virus spreads, he added.
“If you are going out in public, wear a cloth mask. It should always be done in conjunction with the five golden rules of good hygiene. “
