Police, SANDF received no training in implementing lockdown regulations
25 May 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is not surprised to learn that the SAPS, Metropolitan Police and SANDF received no training in implementing the national lockdown regulations.
This was revealed by the Gauteng Community Safety MEC, Faith Mazibuko in an oral reply to the DA’s questions during a virtual sitting of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature (GPL).
According to MEC Mazibuko, there was no training provided to the law enforcement agencies in terms of implementing the lockdown regulations.
This clearly explains why the police are always flip-flopping in terms of implementing the lockdown regulations which has resulted in the unlawful arrests of innocent law-abiding citizens.
