On January 26, the premises were evacuated after they received a bomb threat.
Vusi Mona, spokesperson for Sanral, says that the building is occupied by Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) and the individual arrested works for a service provider on the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) and is not a Sanral employee, as has been mistakenly reported in the national media.
“The arrest should send a message that while peaceful protest is every citizen’s right, actions like threatening that a bomb is on the premises or any other hoax, is a serious offence.
“We strongly condemn such actions. The swift police action is an indication of how seriously such hoaxes are seen,” says Mona.
