DA calls on Minister to address the country on terrorist attack warning
27 October 2022
Please find attached a soundbite by Natasha Mazzone MP.
A warning issued by the US Embassy yesterday relating to a possible terrorist attack in the Sandton region of Johannesburg must be taken very seriously.
Given the unprecedented nature of this sort of announcement, by a foreign embassy within our own borders, it brings into question the capability of South Africa’s own intelligence services under the ANC. To date, the reaction by the ANC Government has been worryingly indifferent and dismissive.
The DA calls on Mondli Gungubele, as the Minister who oversees State Security within the Presidency, to urgently make a public announcement informing our citizens that governments intends to treat this matter with the necessary seriousness and agency to allay fears and prevent panic.
