Nyathi stressed that law enforcement would take punitive action against those found purchasing, selling, or igniting fireworks, and urged the public to abstain from engaging in such activities.
In his statement, Assistant Commissioner Nyathi expressed concern for the welfare of animals, elucidating how the distress caused by fireworks induces fear and disorientation in pets, leading them to flee from their homes and into potentially hazardous environments.
