Paper’s pictures show cops ‘retrieving stolen goods'‚ not looting‚ SAPS says

The Daily Sun was singled out for publishing “images of police members…without captions‚ purporting to portray SAPS members as being active participants in looting and other related forms of criminality during the recent violent riots in Tshwane”. Spokesperson Brigadier Mashadi Selepe said on Thursday: “The SAPS strongly condemns this type of reporting and the distribution of these images as they were selectively published to tarnish the image of the SAPS and is totally misleading and untrue.
