The attack on Alra Park Satellite Police Station must be condemned.

The National Commissioner of Police, General Khehla John Sitole has strongly condemned the attack on and burning of a satellite police station in Alra Park, Nigel in Gauteng Province early this morning.

The criminal actions of those protesters have done nothing more than disadvantage the entire community of an essential service of policing.

The South African Police Service’s Public Order Police have been deployed to the area and patrols have been increased in an effort to ensure that there is no further violence associated with these ongoing protest actions. All citizens of this country have a democratic right to protest but they must do so responsibly within the confines of the law and without damaging any property.

"I am urging all members of the Alra Park Community and surrounding areas to remain calm and cooperate with police. In the meantime I have directed that those who are responsible for setting the Alra Park satellite police station alight must be identified and brought to book as soon as possible", added General Sitole.
