KZN police get extra deployment ahead of 2024 elections
The KwaZulu-Natal Justice Crime Prevention and Security Cluster says extra police officers have been deployed across the province ahead of next week’s elections.Speaking during a media briefing, Provincial Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi says Nongoma and the Durban metro are top of the list of areas regarded as high risk as a result of previous intolerance and political killings.“So, what you might refer to as a hotspot might not be a high risk.
The KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Sipho Hlomuka says roads to voting stations have been refurbished to allow easy access for citizens and IEC staff. Hlomuka says acts of violence will not be tolerated. “We’ve also observed some sporadic incidents of violent political protest. We caution our people not to deprive others of their constitutional rights to vote by closing roads and destroying properties. Areas such as R74 in Newdene where they torched a truck will be given more attention.”
