Mzansi must unite in fight against cop killers 10 April 2021 Police killings have become endemic in Mzansi. Section 205 (3) of the Constitution states that it’s the duty of the South African Police Service to prevent, combat and investigate crime, uphold and enforce the law, maintain public order, and to protect and secure the inhabitants of the Republic of South Africa. Fulfilling this mandate unfortunately subjects the men and women in blue to a risky work environment. They face dangerous situations as well as armed thugs in order to serve and protect the citizens of this country. Policing can’t be compared to any other vocation.
