The Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa today commended police for securing a combined 118 years imprisonment on convections since the start of 2013.
The figure resulted from successful prosecution of 15 people.
The heftiest sentence was handed down to one accused in Gauteng
Ministerial Spokesperson Zweli Mnisi added that this is so important because there has been a perception that police do arrests those who break the law during public protests and there are never convictions.
Zweli added that it is a good start to the ministry and they hope that police will now be encouraged to do more because no person has the right to violate or intimidate others the all in the name of a public protest.
