Sapu president Mpho Kwinika says that the strike would have crippled services had it gone ahead.
JOHANNESBURG - The South African Policing Union has made an about turn, halting Thursday's planned strike pending a meeting with Police Minister Bheki Cele.
Cele has called a briefing with union leaders and national Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole in Parktown this morning."Last night I received a call form the Minister of Police. We were invited to a media briefing today at 8am. It was going to be very catastrophic. Members were adamant that there was no other way of resolving the problem."
