NATIONAL NEWS - Office-bound members of the SA Police Service will soon leave their desks to help fight crime on the streets of South Africa, Police Minister Bheki Clele said on Monday.
Cele and national police commissioner General Khehla Sithole briefed journalists on the SAPS plan to combat violent crimes.
“I have directed the SAPS top management to adopt an extraordinary operational approach to stabilise this crime wave which must be followed by a normalisation approach. Therefore, in our efforts to stamping the authority of the state, we will be introducing the execution of a high density stabilisation intervention going forward,” Cele told reporters in Pretoria.
“This will entail the migration of resources from a strategic framework level to an operational framework level. This means that in provinces such as Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape, which are most affected by this crime wave, will be boosted by the deployment of lieutenant-generals.
