Provincial Commissioner, Khombinkosi Jula says the suspects appeared in various courts around the province. 


"We realise that the battle is not over and that this is just the beginning of a new offensive as we wage this war on criminality in KwaZulu-Natal."


"We call on citizens to work with police on the ground and to leave no space for criminals to move freely, as we reclaim our streets," he said.
