Pretoria - Gauteng and Tshwane police commissioners lieutenant-general Elias Mawela and major-general Hilda Mohajane led a festive safety operation to crack the whip on motorists and residents contravening the law and lockdown regulations in Pretoria.
However, with the lockdown in effect and President Cyril Ramaphosa having just cut curfew to 11pm Mawela said the police went out in large numbers to bust offenders and politely shutdown parties and even helped young people put away their speakers. He said: “Some were arrested for contact crimes like murder, attempted murder, and robbery, so they have done very well.”
“We decided to go to Pretoria central because it is a capital city and we need to have control over the capital city. Think of any country where the capital city is not taken care of or secure, and it’s not safe. That gives a bad impression about the country itself.
