Sanral spokesperson Vusi Mona said, “The agency would like to thank the police’s Directorate for Priority Crime investigation unit – also known as Hawks – for their efficiency in arresting a man who caused, with a bomb threat, [the] evacuation at the central operations centre in Midrand last week.
“The man arrested works for a service provider to the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project. He is not a Sanral employee as has been mistakenly reported.
“The arrest should send a message that, while peaceful protest is every citizen’s right, a bomb threat or any hoax is a serious offence.”
More information on the court date and charges will be released soon.
