“The station will reopen once all testing and screening processes are complete. There is a security guard on duty at the station informing residents to visit the satellite station. The station is safe and has been thoroughly deep-cleaned. That includes all touch points, prison cells and surfaces. I’m also urging residents to call 10111 in need of assistance if they cannot get in contact with the satellite station,” he said.
Searles has also encouraged members of the public to report to the uMhlanga SAPS satellite station to report crimes while those needing permits or certifying documents are encouraged to visit either the Greenwood Park police station or Durban Central station.
