Police spokesperson Dimakatso Sello says they will be monitoring the situation throughout the protest.

“The South African Police Services (SAPS) in Gauteng together with other security cluster departments that include, Tshwane Metro Police and Gauteng Traffic Departments and Public Order Police have heightened the visibility at the Public Protector’s offices on Pretoria following planned picketing at those offices today. As per the Constitutional mandate, the police will be there to maintain public order and enforce the law,” says Sello.
