Police have come out clarifying that of those arrested during the arrest of over 40 suspects during a hostage situation and shootout at the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in Zuurbekom on Saturday morning, those regarded as law enforcement were not there in their capacity as members of security forces.
“Instead they were there as members of the church/congregants and they just happen to be members of the different departments. A total of five fatalities were confirmed. Four people were found shot and burnt in a car while a fifth victim, a security guard, was also fatally shot in his car while apparently attending to the complaint.“Among those arrested are members of Saps, the SA National Defence Force , the Johannesburg Metro Police Department and the Department of Correctional Services.
