Earlier this week, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said that during the election campaign, one of the core pledges was to do more to keep Capetonians safe, and make the Mother City a safer place to live in.
“We will invest in even more law enforcement officers, and equipment, and vehicles to make every Capetonian feel safer. And we will focus single-mindedly on growing the economy so that more people can get into work and out of poverty,” he saidIn addition to this, the City of Cape Town’s enforcement agencies made nearly 370 arrests in the past week, taking the total for March to date to over 900.
Metro Police officers made 115 arrests for crimes including possession and sale of drugs, contact crimes, property crimes, domestic violence and public violence, and issued 5 574 traffic and bylaw fines.
