Mkhwanazi was reacting to a video in which an unidentified person threatens to shut down all police stations in the province on June 16.


In a statement on Monday, Mkhwanazi warned members of the public not to spread the video further.


“Whilst we are aware that this is an old video, we appeal to members of the public to refrain from circulating this video as this will be playing into the hands of mischievous individuals who clearly want to spread panic amongst the community,” he says.


“We want to reassure the public that we will not allow anyone to close any police station in this province and we will act decisively if any attempts are made to disrupt services offered to the community at our police stations.”
