Gonya says, among other things they’re dealing with resource challenges which’ve affect their ability to fully carry out their duties.
"We are working towards the call that was made by the local community to say they are not content with the service we are getting with Hibberdenen SAPS," he said.
"Pretty soon there will be an improvement. With regard to resources, regarding personnel and vehicles, those will be addressed to improve our services in the community."
