'Stay home and cooperate with the SAPS and SANDF during lockdown'

Johannesburg - The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union has urged South Africans to cooperate with police officers and the army as they help enforce the national lockdown to help contain the spread of coronavirus.

On Tuesday morning, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize announced there was now 554 confirmed coronavirus cases in the country. This was a considerable jump from 402 cases which had been confirmed on Monday. “As we enter these uncharted waters, we urge our communities to fully cooperate with the many police men and women, health workers, traffic officials and other servants of the nation who will be on duty during this challenging period,” Mamabolo said.

But the SANDF took to social media to allay the concerns, pointing out that they were not enforcing the shutdown yet.

People are not animals why weilding assault riffles. Instead carry knapsacks to disinfect places.
