P_lee4u Our SAPoliceService members showed the world how lazy and negligent they are,No wonder some artist dont want to come and do concert here they value their life... GlobalCitizenFestivalSA

JMPD were in full force,standing in groups loitering at their vehicles that blocked off the roads!They claim to have been directing traffic?no they were not!Sum JMPD members even threaten members of the public when asked why they do not assist!Thank you,you are a disgrace to SA

I am one of the victims, but when I reported to some of the police that where there on Sunday they said I should call my service provider to block the phone and SIM card and then come with the number that I will get from service provider to open a case 😰💔

Useless saps they will tell you this no evidence

What do you have to say to this? SAPS Maybe instead of denying that the security was shocking, you should listen to the people, after all we are the ones you are supposed to be protecting, not your reputation GlobalCitizenFestival

You're not sharing how/if we can identify those arrested!

I've had my phone confiscated because I have an video of them refusing to help me. My phone is still with them

Come forward and identify who in that croud😡

Apperantly even the police officers around the place of incident, they were not helpful😢

Honestly speaking what are they gonna do? Pigs will always be useless

Dear SAPoliceService please go and read your vision and mission statements.

Information ya kaka. Why don't they carry out their own internal investigations on all those who were on duty Their own lazy so called police officers?

A little compassion and understanding would be a far better approach rather than just boasting about your big arrest of one person. Please, also take responsibility for the 1000's of people who were let down by the system. We haven't all just made this up! GlobalCitizen

Police now needs minds outside the SAPS to help strategize. It doesn’t needs police ba background to master criminology, their approach has clearly failed. Allow new and intelligent minds to help you. Your success rate is too low to change the situation.

The gap has widened so vastly between police intelligence and the crime success. Polic training is clearly a big gap in law enforcement and civilia protection. It needs no rockect science to know that GlblCitzn was a potention hotspot for criminal acts...

And then they are going to give you the run arounds first max! SAPS is a joke

Useless police, mnx. Someone is raped or killed what will police do then. Police should have been there as they are always when shooting protestors.

Saps is is the worst entity in South Africa. If the knew what they are doin things like what happened last nyt wudnt hv happened from a first place. Into abayaziyo kukube bejikeleza besibuza uba iphi intsangu.

Mbalenh37971259 Police suppose to police not to react. Is this so hard to figure out really

I am of the opinion/experience (maybe wrong) that SAPS always brings criminals to account when it is a person of stature that has been affected; or otherwise in cases that are in the public eye.

SAPoliceService all SAPS and JMPD officers who were 'on duty' last night need to be investigated for their gross negligence while on duty. It's unacceptable the trauma that was created from this incident by our own police system.

Even minister is nOt saying anything sO far.....

The wer 2 or 3 officers next to sasol garage and they knew what was going on and they didn't call for backup if they knew they couldn't maintain the situation. Instead they chose to watch. South Africa is beyond repair

Mxm such a bad Department, must just close shop for clean up

2felas As if they'll do anything about it

Ebephi kanti amapolisa alapha neMetro?

Police wants to see affidavits from victims. Let us see their operation plan that they had for the event and see if there was any ?

Jmpd has dropped the ball . Shows clearly the was no strategic forecasting on their planning that is if there was any plan

🤣🤣 U GovernmentZA citizens really make me laugh. U know very well that SAPS is USELESS, to say the least. & u know the top brass 'managing' SAPoliceService & AsktheChiefJMPD are ANC cadres, i.e. corrupt, incompetent, arrogant, obese... So WHAT did u expect? Showthemin2019

I mean they were surrounding the stadium yet they took two hours to get to the garage. How are we gonna trace those strangers that mugged people in the dark?

Scumezza The 2010 Soccer World cup was hosted with very little hiccups.what went wrong here? Were similar principles applied?

What's the point, pathetic!

Aren't they a little bit too late?

Mxm ngoku?

So that you can do what at this point You were supposed to be there yesterday

Horrible things happened at that Sasol garage, the police must just go get videos

Reactionaries !

Useless SAPS😡😡😡 THEY MUST HUNT DOWN THOSE CRIMINALS THEMSELVES 😳😳😳

YOU ARE USELESS

ali_naka They are useless these SAPS can't even arrest Meyiwas killers.

MatshabaGontse Ull are useless maan

Its not only concerts.even soccer those happens..I think FNB must be abandoned....Stadium management does not care

SAPS e tlwaela batho masepa

Where were they when we were ambushed by thugs?

Who the f$ck is going to go report a case 2 o clock in the morning ! Why were they not around in the 1st place ! The only thing we could think was getting out safely and not getting harassed or stabbed !

For what.....a case number 😏

😤😤😤😤

phuLusowLess ravele_r

why not preventing crime before it occurs.

Mnxm like kukho into abazakuyenza LOL. We are a PoliceLessSTATE

Come forward? They were there watching!

Futsek!!!

Thanks for the invite to email through my report but the lack of an email address suggests your not really serious about this! SAPoliceService

Coming forward for what? Why can't they go to the sasol garage by the stadium and ask for footage. SAPS sometimes are sooo useless nxx. These concert was international not only for joburgers. You can't expect somebody from Durban to report a case that happened in jozi

Bazowenzani ? Ingane zabantu zithathelwe ama phone. Bazowakhokha? Abakahle!!

SAPS NEED TO ADDRESS PERSONNEL THAT WERE ON DUTY . INVESTIGATIONS NEED TO BE DONE ON THE POLICE OFFICERS ON DUTY THAT DAY!!!

Remember fillupFNBstadium CasperNyovest a year later... till to date the perpetrators were never arrested and some of us are still traumatized by those incidents. Ninga zosibhanxa nina maan

Karabo_Mokgoko information yokunuka

As if they're gonna do something about it... Are they going to bring back the stuff that was taken from them?

What a joke! But let the world see how u deal with all issues in SA. No forward planning, reaction is more your style! Mxm

Just try and fight back when the criminals are attacking you and see how quick the police will be to arrest you for assaulting criminals. They'd rather have people being helpless victims and rely on a nonexistent police force

SAPoliceService was there watching everything go down. What fake care shit is this

This Vish guy was unapologetic when interviewed...

It was a nightmare. Queues took forever, people got it 2 hours after the show started and afterwards traffic was crazy, people got robbed and attacked. A real free for all. downthedrain madibalegacy

Isn't it a bit too late now, if SAPS couldn't be there to save people how are they going to put energy into finding those thugs, how can we trust them?

So they can investigate till the next global citizen.😏🤔

WhT are they gonna do with the information? Don’t bore us 👀

People should wake up or they must brazenly expect and wait for a ruthless war in our public places. Simple stay away from crowded areas & you will avoid problems.

Karabo_Mokgoko For what exactly?

Useless !!

Absolutely nothing is going to change the fact that thousands were violated.

Karabo_Mokgoko Will they compensate what they lost last night Police are a joke, they were there mos last night, they did nothing, they must ask those police who were deployed to the stadium last night.

Karabo_Mokgoko Bana ba timeditse wig! 🤣❌

What are they gonna do Go around soweto hunting for nyaope boys

ali_naka It is kinda useless now dont you think what's going to happen ? Inquiry will be open

ali_naka All those who had bad experiences at or after GlobalCitizenFestivalSA on sunday should charge SAPS and the show Sasol

BS!

RELEASE THE FOOTAGE!

ali_naka 12 hours too late... Maybe they must have a staff meeting with those members of SAPS and JMPD who were witnesses. 😏

ali_naka Tsek! SAPoliceService You guys are lwabbish! GlobaCitizenFestivalSA

iwasthere sasol. this is not fake. people were scared and didnt know what to do. jmpd dont brush this off because only one case was opened. this is reality

jossieu

and what will they do with that info ? statistics ?

Police visibility was a flop.

Everyone had a bad experience after the show SAPoliceService you guys were no where to be seen. Perhaps you are in cahoots

Coming forward n u do wat if u fail to arrest doz killed Senzo cn arrest dis one

what will info help with? the damage is done. SAPS doesn't care, never cared but you guys expect us to care when policeman and woman are being slandered?

Then what😠😠

Mxmm useless SAPS😳😳😳😳

Will you replace all the valuables no like really now come on SAPS ITS time we now get guns okapis whateva we can't wake up work hard then get mugged for what we worked hard for sies maan

Waste of time

How dumb!, come forward for what after a terrible ordeal with fokkol SAPoliceService in sight!!! Vish Naidoo is an idiot! GlobalCitezenFestivalSA Sasol

How shallow

Please make that disciplinary action public, a 2 week paid holiday is not discipline, we want them fired and blacklisted. The SAPS, can also obtain the CCTV footage from Sasol.

Come forward for what they failed us. We flew from cape town for GlobalCitizenFestivalSA we stopped the police asking for help they ignored us. SAPoliceService you just don't care period

What information?🤔 SAPS failed the people once again.

The only thing you guys only know is to take statements...nkari they bewitched yall with pens and that little book of yours... Nxah

What information? Masebezile nayo kuzokwenzakalani mxm badlala ngabantu

Where were the police SA is crime ridden as it is,didn't they see this coming. Arg man SA police fear criminals!!!

After the fact? Ooh boy, when will this useless government of ours ever improve kodwa

SAPS Are you telling me there was no security JOC at the Global Citizen event?

What information do they want? 🤣🤣🤣

How will they identify the theif if he ran into the crowd..this is sad you know.. Mxm reactive not proactive...

Why ?

Mncm

Don’t be reactive!

They failed to protect everyone last night...now they must come forward for what...bayoirang nou? South African police are useless

What information to they want, this was a traumatic experience and watching this first hand has just angered me so much! There must be video footage from the SASOL why is that not their starting point

That’s a good call. I wud like de SAPS 2 also attend 2 a case of police stealing items 4rom a recovered stolen vehicle in Tzaneen/Polokwane. De vehicle was involved in a chase with the police after it was stolen. On reclaiming de vehicle, it’s contents including laptops were gone

Hao?🤔 Thugs are gone mos and, whatever they took from the people is also gone?

Only if EFF was there this could have never happened Protection of the youth criminals would have been horribly vandalisedsasol

Weren't the police suppose to be there in a place?

I wonder what happened?

SAPoliceService Abantu base Mzantsi Afrika baphume ngobuninzi bebumbene njenge sizwe beyokuxasa lo msitho, bancama konke abanako bathenga amatikiti.Kuyi malini na ukuxabisa ubomi babantu? Niqunywe ezizweni,ukuze ningahlazeki kuthwe abantu hange baye,kwa nina noyiswa kubakhusela?

Please provide us with an email address to report incidents

Really...pathetic SAPS. This cannot be right.SAPoliceService

CordeliaMmenu

Smh

Report what👮? ask the clown police you had watching to give you a statement. SA police ke magapu einklek

Always, 'reactive' after damage done.

Let the world see first hand what's really going on in South Africa.

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
