Cape Town - Police Minister Bheki Cele and his deputy returned to the crime-ridden Cape Flats, for operational briefing, since the commencement of Operation Lockdown.
Cele and Deputy Minister Cassel Mathale engaged communities to get feedback from members of the public on the interventions through a Ministerial Imbizo hosted in Mitchells’s Plain and Gugulethu, on Tuesday. Cele said they received a consolidated report of the operational interventions in the Western Cape to date, ranging from Operation Thunder which was launched in May last year, the Anti-Gang Unit launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa in November last year and ultimately Operation Lockdown which came into operation in July and extended to March 2020.
He said following operational discussions and analysis, "a decision to merge the three major interventions under one central operational command was implemented in order to stamp the authority of the state in Western Cape and to ultimately address the scourge of gangsterism and other priority crimes in the province".
