Cape Town – National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola has deployed additional Public Order Policing (POP) members to KwaZulu-Natal to support the safety and security plan for the 2024 National and Provincial Elections.
This marks the third deployment of additional officers to maintain stability in the province.
The latest deployment of over 300 POP members aims to bolster post-election policing operations.
The plan, coordinated by the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS), has entered its third phase, focusing on monitoring election outcomes.
“We have delivered the 2024 NPE elections in a stable environment. Voters were able to exercise their democratic right without fear or favour, we will continue to respond accordingly to prevent and combat criminality.
“We thank voters and communities for thus far conducting themselves in an orderly and responsible manner. We hope this will prevail. Those who step out of line will be dealt with,” Masemola said.
He emphasised the ongoing efforts to maintain stability and respond to any incidents.
