This year, 33 police officers’ names were engraved on the national memorial wall where the president and bereaved family members laid wreaths.

Ramaphosa said that attacks on police officers undermined the authority of the state.

“No society can remain silent when criminals have clearly declared war on the police. Our men and women in blue represent the authority of the state and any attack on them is a direct attack on the state but it is also an attack on the people of South Africa,” the president said.
