Mchunu said there will be less talking and the public will judge progress by action taken.
“We are going to do our job the way it needs to be done. I assure you we will do everything to ensure we promote the rule of law, bring order to the country and deal with criminals head-on.
“Criminals, when they see police doing their job, must surrender or they will be made to surrender,” Mchunu said.
He was speaking to journalists in the Eastern Cape after a mass murder at the weekend. Premier Oscar Mabuyane said the state would not fold its arms. “Criminals have declared war, this is war — so many deaths, we will reciprocate.
“We can’t go to funerals again and see people shooting at random — there must be law and order, we are not a banana republic.”
Mchunu and Mabuyane promised to “eliminate” the thugs.
