Former Western Cape Police Commissioner Lennit Max has urged Cape communities to continue to support Provincial Police Chief Mzwandile Petros whose son has been arrested on vehicle hi-jacking charges.
Lennit says as the previous Police Commissioner of the Western Cape he would like to urge the community not to “crucify” the current commissioner for what his son may have done.
Mzwandile Petros's teenage son was arrested last week, along with 2 other men, in connection with a hi-jacking in Khayelitsha.Lennit says he “understands his (Petros) pain as a father because it’s difficult for us as parents to ensure the actions of our children when they are not in our sight.”
Lwazi Yanga Mzito is being held at Pollsmoor prison until his next court appearance on the 7th of August.
Lennit added that he salutes and appreciates Commissioner Petros’s commitment to ensure that the law takes its course and he hopes that this swift and decisive action will act as a warning to other criminals.
