KWAZULU-NATAL. – Police in KwaZulu-Natal deny allegations that arrest warrants have been issued for the detention of leaders of the movements March and March and South Africa First Forum. Police say there is furthermore no record of a case registered against the two individuals involved.
Col. Robert Netshiunda, police spokesperson, says the allegations are unfounded and could cause unnecessary panic among residents. He appeals to activists to act responsibly and not make statements that could be regarded as malicious or reckless or incite violence. Netshiunda says anyone who suspects that an arrest warrant has been issued for their detention should contact police directly to verify the facts. He emphasises that police apply the law without prejudice and do not target people.
