The community policing forum in Phoenix says it's prepared for any attacks during shutdown protests on Monday, after EFF leader Julius Malema fired a salvo at the community.
“We are concerned but we will not overact. We just want to be prepared. We are not doing any road closures or anything of that nature.”“You can't get Julius Malema making such statements and not getting any reaction from people.
“There should have been better reaction from the ruling party and other parties as well, because that is basically hate speech. “If Malema has issues with the president and the lack of electricity, by all means fight back, but in a peaceful manner.Umesh Singh, head of the eThekwini outer north cluster community policing forum“The fact that we have been singled out, we are not scared, but we want to be aware and prepared.”A spokesperson for private security company KZN VIP said it is among those “working hand in hand with the SAPS and Metro police to stand firmly against any riot and looting situation that may occur”.
“There has been continuous threats passed to security officials but in aid of saving our already weakened economy, law enforcement is prepared to take on this national shutdown.”
