“This is excellent work by Brigadier Mgobhozi and the eThekwini Outer South Cluster team. Their commitment to remove crime from our streets needs to be commended,” said eThekwini Outer South Cluster commander, Major-General TJG Ndlovu.
These arrests would possibly not have been possible if it was not for the information supplied by the community and the quick response by Brigadier Mgobhozi. Working together with the community, we can do so much more. Let us continue to remove unlicensed firearms and dangerous criminals from our streets.”
