National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola has welcomed the readiness of the South African Police Service for the festive season, with a particular attention on the Western Cape.

Masemola addressed a dedicated group of police officers and stakeholders on Friday during the Ministerial Safer Festive Season Operations visit in Cape Town.

“Most of our members did not take leave to ensure the safety and security of all people living in South Africa. This demonstrates the unwavering commitment of our men and women in blue, and for that, I thank them for honouring their oath of office,” he said.

The event, attended by top officials, including Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and deputy ministers Polly Boshielo and Cassel Mathale, served as a platform to reinforce the importance of safety initiatives.

They commended the tireless efforts of law enforcement officers during the busy holiday period.
