Msunduzi mayor urges more police resources after 10 gunned down
Msunduzi Mayor Mzimkhulu Thebolla says national government needs to provide additional resources to the Plessislaer police station near Pietermaritzburg to address the crime in the area.
Thebolla was speaking after ten members of one family were gunned down in their home in the early hours of Friday morning.
"More needs to be done to capacitate that police station,” the mayor said.
“That is what we will raise with him (Police Minister Bheki Cele) because we know when it was built, it was for a certain number of people, but the area now has grown.
"So, they [police] are working in a bigger area with more people, somehow either they restructure the way they are working, or they capacitate this police station," said Thebolla
Police Minister Bheki Cele visited the crime scene and confirmed that one suspect was killed in a shootout with police, while two others were arrested.
