More than 120 angry residents protested outside the Motherwell police station in Port Elizabeth on Thursday. They demanded that station commander Brigadier Michael Solani be transferred immediately.
The residents claim that the police are corrupt, that they fail to arrest known criminals and fail to turn up when called to a crime scene. Jack Kilani, 63, said, “There are times the police give an excuse that there are no vans to attend to a crime scene. But we see some vans belonging to the Motherwell police station in far away suburbs doing private business. People are being raped and robbed while police talk of lack of vans.”Nozipho Myataza, 68, who lives in a shack in Powerline informal settlement, said, “We know these criminals but they are always free.
“An innocent person was killed recently by the community after being falsely accused of raping a minor. This is why we don’t want mob killings to continue but people are angry at the lack of effective police presence and thorough investigations,” said Taaibos.
Well, then they have to use the power of the ballot box in May and get rid of Bobani and the cANCer kleptocrats.
