Cele said the situation in the metro, where community members have banded together to protect shops from looters, was quite different to what has been happening in some areas in Johannesburg.
While on his visit to malls in the Tshwane area, Cele stopped at the Nkomo Village centre in Atteridgeville.
“We are calling on the Tshwane community to stay different and be good. We are on the satisfied side when it comes to Tshwane.”“There is the question of thuggery and criminality. For instance, people going to malls armed with guns and shooting at the police and people protecting shops. This is thuggery that is organised and police need to respond and find the organisers. Police will be working with the community on that.
