Based on previous confrontations between the two groups outside the Court, police are expecting even worse situations than the previous ones and are up to the task.

  Amidst of widespread rumours and sensationalists making threats that people will be shot at or even killed if the Court ruling is not in favour of the other group, police would like to warn all those who will be attending the Court Judgement during the two days that no unruly behaviour will be tolerated. No weapons of any kind will be allowed in the vicinity of the court and no disruptions of any manner will be allowed.

“Only accredited  people will be allowed to enter the court room and other people should take instruction from the Police and stand in the cordoned off sections. We condemn the sensationalist agenda. We also would like to warn any individual or grouping that may wish to threaten state security that they will meet the full might of the law and we dare them to test the capacity and the state of readiness of the South African Police Services” Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said.

Different Police units that will be deployed at Ventersdorp starting on Tuesday, 22 May 2012 will include among others the crime prevention unit, public order police, flying squad, mounted unit as well as the airwing. 

The Provincial Commissioner of the North West Province, Lieutenant General Zukiswa Mbombo would like to urge the community accept and respect the Court’s ruling.
