Walmer Police Station

I had to pop into the Walmer Police Station to pick up a document that I had been waiting for for more than three years already. At least I have it now.  The police station covers a huge area that includes the suburbs of Walmer and Charlo.  I couldn't find a lot of history on the police station itself other than the fact that Stephen Bantu Biko was detained here for 20 days in 1977 under Section 6 of the Terrorism Act before being taken elsewhere for interrogation.

  1. Glad you got your papers and didn't have to wait 20 years. Ah, the slow wheels of progress.
