Yesterday, it seemed like business as usual at the logistics store in Silverton after 12 suspects, allegedly armed with AK-47s, entered the premises and held up guards at the gate. It is believed the group tried to break into the armoury and shot and injured a police captain from forensics.Political analyst Dr Benjamin Rapanyane said South Africa has become a lawless country.

“The 12 were travelling in a white Ford Ranger bakkie. Police officers who were on patrol foiled the attempt to enter the building. During the confrontation, a constable was shot and wounded. He has been hospitalised. Nothing was taken from the building.”Mathe said police have set aside R25 million this financial year for upgrades to all its buildings nationwide.

Barkhuizen said it was worrying that criminals attacked a building to get their hands on any of that.
