North West Community Safety and Transport Management MEC Sello Lehari has denied that an aeroplane was stolen in the province.
No plane had been stolen in North West, Community Safety and Transport Management MEC Sello Lehari said on Wednesday.“Two trucks intercepted at the Mahikeng Airport they were found with dismembered parts of two aeroplanes. What a busy day it was,” read one comment on Twitter.
“On Tuesday evening, three trucks were stopped by the police just outside Mahikeng CBD. The trucks, which were from GD Montshioa Airport in Mmabatho, were searched and found to have loaded scrap metals from the dismantled parts of aircrafts,” he said. He said the search by the police had been misconstrued by some members of the community to be theft and posted on social media.
“Social media is a wonderful tool which gives ordinary people a voice but should be used responsibly. If anyone has any question on anything about the department, feel free to engage us directly. No plane has been stolen,” he said.
