Amapolisa ebephume ngobuninzi bawo eqhuba iipatroli, amaphulo okumisa nokugqogqa, iintambo zokugqogqa nokugqogqa kunye nokuvalwa kwendlela. Baphinde benza uhlolo lokuthobela kwaye bavala amaziko asebenza ngaphandle komthetho. Kwakukho impembelelo kwiindawo zethu zokugxila apho ukusetyenziswa kotywala kuphezulu ngakumbi ngeempelaveki, ‘wongezelela uLt Gen Mene.
