Where in the sticks is this place Poortjie?
We can remember when a policeman was shot through the head at a satellite station in Ivory Park, some years ago!
How many members were on duty at Poortjie?
SAPS members are sitting ducks at satellite stations!
They are supposed to serve the community, but, does the community protect them?
