More than 550 protesters were arrested and 24 300 tyres were confiscated during the EFF's national action on Monday.
The Natjoints arrested more than 550 protesters for amongst others public violence, intimidation, damage to critical infrastructure, theft and attempted looting,” the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure said in a statement on Monday night.
“The number of tyres that were confiscated throughout the country remains at 24 300. These were tyres that were strategically placed for acts of criminality.” “The secondary support role of the South African National Defence Force in assisting the work of the police by protecting critical infrastructure such as ports of entry, toll roads, and harbours has also yielded positive results.
Mathe also thanked community police forums, neighbourhood watches and other community groups who supported law enforcement authorities.
