Due to renovations the Umhlali police are temporarily relocating the charge office and as a result one phone line will be working for the next two weeks. Colonel Dieter Fittkaue urged residents to be patient and call back if the line is busy. The station also urged residents and holidaymakers not to leave valuable items in their cars when they are going the beach.
