Structural issue prompts partial demolition of Kwakwani Police Station

Following reports suggesting that the Kwakwani Police Station is being demolished just one month after a complete renovation, the Home Affairs Ministry, refuted the misleading claims circulating on social media.
The Ministry in a statement assured the public that only a specific section of the building is being addressed due to unforeseen structural concerns.
Addressing the issue the Ministry explained that after rehabilitation work, including plumbing, carpentry, electrical upgrades, and the installation of new windows and gutters, it was discovered that the rear section of the building was sinking, compromising its structural integrity.

In response, the Ministry has taken action to demolish only the affected area. This will be followed by the construction of a new extension and addition, ensuring that the Kwakwani Police Station is safe and capable of serving the community well into the future.
The Ministry said that it is committed to the responsible management of public resources and the safety of all who use its facilities, adding that the current works are a necessary response to structural challenges that could not have been anticipated prior to renovation.
