In a statement, North West police spokesperson Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said the claims are damaging to the professional image and integrity of the police service. He added that such incidents contribute to the growing trust deficit between law enforcement and the communities they serve. SAPS has called on members of the public to come forward with any information that could assist in the investigation. According to Brigadier Mokgwabone, preliminary inquiries suggest that two individuals affiliated with the Patriotic Alliance and Operation Dudula may be able to assist. Looking for quick updates?
