Crimes of the South African Police Service



Public toilets at police station a disgrace!
Two photos, one taken in February and the other in March, show that very little is done in the way of cleaning toilets

We entrust Ladysmith police and the officers at Ladysmith police station with cleaning up our town’s crime hot-spots.
But it appears they need a little help keeping their own premises spick and span.
The state of the public toilets in the police station is a disgrace.
This toilet is for men and is situated on the way to the police holding cells. It is supposed to be used by members of the public and police officers on duty.
A photograph taken in February shows the state it was in. A second photo taken in March shows that nothing has been done to clean it.
“I could understand if the toilet did not work, lock the door, but this is ridiculous,” a visitor to the station explained to the Ladysmith Gazette. (He asked not to be named)
The second photo was taken on Sunday.
Police spokesperson Captain Charmaine Struwig confirmed receiving the photos. “The matter is in the hands of the Station Commissioner,” said Capt Sruwig.
