Beef up security at police stations - Parliament
22 February 2018
Cape Town – Parliament wants security at police stations to be addressed urgently, following the killing of five police officers and a former soldier in Ngcobo in the Eastern Cape.
Parliament's Select Committee on Security and Justice has strongly condemned the "callous attack" at Ngcobo police station on Wednesday.
The attackers stole 10 firearms and a police vehicle that was later used in the robbery of a nearby Capitec ATM.
Committee chairperson Simphiwe George Mthimunye welcomed the urgent intervention, as well as the Minister of Police's visit to the area, and the setting up of a special task team to investigate the killings, a statement read.
