Protesters attack Gauteng police station


National Police Commissioner, General Khehla Sitole has strongly condemned the attack on, and burning of a satellite police station in Nigel in Gauteng  on Friday.

Spokesperson, Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo says a group of protesting community members tried to illegally occupy about 600 RDP houses in Mckenzieville.

He says the houses are still to be supplied with water and electricity.

Naidoo says they barricaded the road to the houses, and while police monitored the situation, another group allegedly petrol-bombed the Alra Park satellite station.

He says members of the Public Order Police have been deployed to the area and patrols have been increased in an effort to ensure that there is no further violence associated with these ongoing protest actions.

No arrests have yet been made.
