South Africa: The National Commissioner Refutes Fake News Story

press release

The National Commissioner of the South African Police Service has learnt with utter dismay about a fake news story which quotes him saying "he does not believe that farm attacks really exist".

The story apparently written by a "Samantha van Zyl", appeared on the website http://newsatlastsa.online wrongly and maliciously suggests that the National Commissioner made the statement today saying "he does not believe that farm attacks does not exist and that farmers love attention".
