He was responding to a question from IFP chief whip Narend Singh, who asked whether the police would be able to deal with such unrest this time around.
He said police from different stations in KwaZulu-Natal were calling meetings with community policing forums and community organisations about this.Responding to another question about police capacity to respond to similar unrest, Mathale said contingency plans have been put in place in areas that were affected by the violence, the effective flow of crime intelligence had been secured, and intelligence is communicated to all relevant stakeholders on a daily basis.
However, KZN police spokesperson Brig Jay Naicker said: “Please ignore messages circulating on WhatsApp or social media platforms that seek to create panic in the community and encourage people to participate in any form of criminality. If there are any serious threats that we are aware of, we will issue an official statement and post such on this group.”
