KZN CPF to deploy over 9,000 volunteers for Tuesday’s march

The KwaZulu-Natal Community Policing Forum says it will dispatch more than 9 000 volunteers during the march against undocumented foreign nationals on Tuesday. The forum has met with KwaZulu-Natal premier Thami Ntuli and committed to help any protests are peaceful.

KwaZulu-Natal CPF secretary Siyanda Biyela says volunteers will work as marshalls and allowing police to perform their duties.

“What is happening with regard to foreign nationals is a problem CPF requires hands to plan and play their own roles to ensure that police are able to do their work. We have currently more 9 000 patrollers in the province of KZN that have been activated to make sure that they work within the ambit of the law. Again, vigilantims is part of the scare that we have as CPF when we activate our members,” adds Biyela.
