Call on Community to Support Safety Personnel

31 July 2013

Media Statement by Dan Plato, Western Cape Minister of Community Safety

The murders of police officers and attacks on emergency medical personnel in recent days must be condemned in the strongest way. These brave men and women serve our communities and play a vital role in securing our safety and well-being.

I call on all communities to support our safety and health personnel and anyone with information on the criminals responsible for these attacks should report to the police immediately. This brutal behaviour cannot be accepted.

The Western Cape Government offers it sincere condolences to the families and friends of those killed as well as to the communities grieving these losses.
