No walking around in complexes and estates allowed
Police have warned citizens who live in complexes, enclosed residential areas and private estates that if they don't adhere to the lockdown regulations, officers will be allowed in to make arrests.
There’s been confusion among managing agencies around the country whether or not residents are allowed limited freedom of movement inside their gated communities.
National police spokesperson Brig Vish Naidoo is adamant when asked about why there seemed to be mixed messages about what can and can’t be done in closely controlled areas in complexes and estates.
“Private security guards employed to keep these areas safe were in contact with the police and would be urged to give information wherever residents were found to be ignoring the strict lockdown measures,” Brig Naidoo said.
