The government is probing the Phoenix Police Station and its top brass while at the same time investigating the dirty role allegedly played by four local security companies in the Phoenix murders.

The press conference was also jointly addressed by KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala, who said most of those who were killed were innocent people who were passing by Phoenix when the attempted looting and killings started on July 12.

“Detectives are investigating the role of private security firms in the violence. The response of the local SAPS to these events will also be looked into. Working closely with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority , the team of investigators has seized firearms from four private security companies working in the area.

Cele said he could not comment on allegations that four police officers from the Phoenix police station took all the illegal firearms confiscated during raids and distributed them to vigilante groups that staged illegal roadblocks under the guise of protecting their properties and businesses from looters.

“So until we really find out what is the story there we will not be able to comment. But rest assured that investigations are going on and those investigations the public will know what exactly happened… as soon as the result are found,” he said when asked when are they going to suspend the police fingered in wrongdoing.

'Zikalala, who said most of those who were killed were innocent people who were passing by Phoenix when the attempted looting and killings started on July 12' Really? They should've stayed safe in their houses knowing there was a marauding crowd looting and destroying

With all the focus on Phoenix, one would think the thousands of jobs lost and billions lost in infrastructure and commodities, mean nothing. How is it that the zuma kids are still sailing along, totally unscathed by the recent events? They waiting for the jailbird perish 1st?

WATCH | Security measures at police stations under spotlightRifles, pistols, and ammunition were stolen at the Northern Cape police Station when three men broke in at the weekend. How can we expect cops to protect us when they can't protect themselves & their arms? I'd like our outstanding Police Minister Bheki Cele to answer that question publicly. Is it the security measures at police stations or the training, the type of person/s employed, qualifications, political affiliation, the cadre deployment or level of corruption that is the problem. Unfortunately the ANC won't recognize the problem if it looks them in the eyes. I entrusted shantelll_142 with my money since I took rush of investing my money with her platform, and since then I've recovered all I lost to scams. Get in touch with shantelll_142 and get a good mentorship and safe trading.
