Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Albert Fritz has welcomed the investigation by the Western Cape Police Ombudsman (WCPO) into allegations of “unacceptable behaviour” by the Muizenberg and Steenberg police.

Cape Town - Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Albert Fritz has welcomed the investigation by the Western Cape Police Ombudsman into allegations of “unacceptable behaviour” by the Muizenberg and Steenberg police.

Then, on April 23, a mother from Lavender Hill was allegedly arrested, physically assaulted and spat in her face when she sought help at the Steenberg police station. Fritz said he knew the reports of police inefficiencies were not limited to the Muizenberg and Steenberg SAPS and there were cases of police inefficiencies reported across the province.

“Now I must add that, by and large, we can be proud of our police officers who serve us and make us safer in a tireless and dedicated manner. The WCPO decided not to register another complaint in terms of sections 16 and 17 of the act, but rather to consult the individual complainants and requested them to submit individual complaints in terms of sections 16 and 17.
