PUBLIC SAFETY’S DECISIVE ACTION AGAINST CRIME AND OFFICER ACCOUNTABILITY @KASIBCNEWS
PUBLIC SAFETY’S DECISIVE ACTION AGAINST CRIME AND OFFICER ACCOUNTABILITY @KASIBCNEWS
The MMC for Public Safety Dr, Mgcini Tshwaku is deeply outraged by the reckless criminal acts on the N1 North between the Soweto Highway and Maraisburg Off-ramps and the N1 South between Maraisburg and Rand Show Road Off-ramps. The deliberate placement of rocks on these routes has caused multiple accidents, jeopardizing the lives of innocent motorists. This is an attack on the safety and dignity of our residents.
We have directed the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) in partnership with the South African Police Service (SAPS) act to decisively root out these criminal elements. Joint operations are underway across our freeways and highways, ensuring no road user is vulnerable. During this festive season, we prioritize the safety of every citizen and visitor traveling through Johannesburg.
Equally troubling are reports alleging that JMPD officers failed to assist a motorist who was nearly mugged in the same area. Let it be clear: The department of Public Safety will not tolerate negligence or dereliction of duty by those entrusted to serve and protect.
The Internal Affairs Unit has launched a full investigation to ensure that any officer found guilty of misconduct is held accountable.
We encourage the community to play a role in ensuring safety by reporting emergencies or suspicious activities by contacting 082 060 0057 or 011 375 5911 immediately. As a department, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the safety and security of all residents.
We will continue to lead with decisive action, ensuring that Johannesburg remains a city where justice and accountability prevail.
