[XolelaNduzulwana-ce]

It's so very painful please God help that firmly 💔💔

[Sammy-gu]

A very very sick individual can even think of trying to hurt a two month old baby. So so sad. 😭😭😭😭😭

[lendibazola]

What a crazy country ....this country need healing really

[nhlamu.]

Poor General, he didn't know how to answer some of the questions because of Justice system, they themselves are not safe from these criminals, an arguable FACT may be why are we still having unrevised Criminal Procedure Act? Why ain't we having one minister of police, correctional and justice if there's such, so that these departments can be colaborated and repots to an individual and his deputy, because this is another Senzo and AKA case saga, justice delayed is justice denied😢

Commissioner you are getting the question wrong here... the Journalist is asking about romours that inkabis are being released from prison cells to execute the hit and then go back to prison not cellphones use.

[phumlamazibuko]

That's horrific incident thixo Eastern Cape😳is getting worst

[lihlenjobe]

I wouldn't be surprised if life insurance is the cause of this

[bulelanidlamini]

The journalist failed to ask the right questions. ASK, What does the prison have to do with these murders? is it gang related violence? Where does the link between confiscating illicit items in Wellington prison and this mass shooting?

[Pato-ckez]

These police officers are a shame, they are just speaking like assurances at all....Sad

[marabunya]

Whether or not a State is functional can be deduced from not only the frequency of crime in that country but more so, the type of crimes. This particular crime is a clear indication that we do not have a functional State as South Africans.

The first Somalia and Congo we will see in South Africa is Eastern Cape

[really.unlikely]

They're combing the area BUT there are over 5 million murder dockets closed over 30 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Do police to night patrol in these rural areas? When will the government invest in drones, they are cheaper that police vans and even cheaper to run. They can easily do patrols at night.
