“When we were still on level 5, we had about 107 000 cases opened with 118 000 people charged for the contravention of the lockdown regulations. In just over a month, this number has more than doubled and is almost at 230 000,” said Cele.
With the lockdown continuing, the illegal traders are prospering selling overpriced alcohol and cigarettes. However, Cele said that many were being busted by law enforcement agencies.He said that many were also caught transporting drugs. He commended police in the Eastern Cape who confiscated drugs worth R4 million.
We know criminals are opportunistic, so organised crime syndicates have taken advantage of the lockdown, especially the ban on alcohol and cigarettes. They have expanded their trade in illicit and counterfeit alcohol and cigarettes“When we refer to gender-based violence, these would cover ALL crimes against women and children as well as the LGBTQI community.
Wear you mask properly. Arrest yourself now
Who killed Senzo?
They preaching to us but not following there own rules 🖕🏻
Wear your mask correctly. Or you may have to arrest yourself 🤠
They are our heroes!! Our freedom fighters!!
CRIMES? These have been gazetted as CRIMES?
The irony, releasing 19 000 prisoners only to arrest 230K more. He is competent, in safe guarding those who are mad for not fully capitalising more during the Lockdown. He is fighting submission to the systematic approach to sky rocket profits. Not COVID19SouthAfrica
It would be better if all those 230000 people were drug dealers,human traffickers and scammers.
They release hardened criminals from jail to make space for those who arrested for contravening the Lockdown regulations! 🤐
How about terrorists who burned our schools, how many are in prison today? Drug dealers, I mean drug should've self rehabilitated by now but they still get their stuff. The focus and obsession is misplaced
How many were arrested for state capture and looting public purses?
This man was fired once he must not think it can't happen again
Is that a correct way of wearing a mask.....wow we are being led😏
And Cyril is letting thousands of convicted criminals out of jail. The clowns are truly running the circus
We are all very proud of you! Now give more criminals parole and let the rest of South Africa sit in jail please.
And he’s SO proud of himself. At last he’s found a way to be productive in policing... arresting ordinary tax paying citizens, not genuine criminals like rapists, murderers and thieves.
Wow, impressive. 230 000 arrested vs 10 who received the special R350 COVID-19 grant.
