Akasia police station temporarily closed due to Covid

The station is temporarily closed due to a positive Covid-19 case.

Akasia police station was temporarily closed on Monday, due to a SAPS member testing positive for Covid-19.

“All communities serviced by Akasia police station are advised that the station has been temporarily closed for decontamination after one of its members tested positive for Covid-19,” said spokesperson Constable Lindiwe Mdluli.

“Akasia will be serving all its clients from the parking lot outside of the police station.”

The community is advised to call 10111 for all complaints and emergencies since the CSC number will be inaccessible.

Members can also use other nearby police stations for further assistance.

“The premises will be undergoing decontamination and the community will be informed when the station will resume operations again,” said Mdluli.

“The Akasia SAPS management apologises for any inconvenience that may arise from this closure.”
