As the streets of KwaZulu-Natal came to a standstill on Friday due to taxi protests, Minister of Police Bheki Cele revealed that officers deal with around 30 protests in South Africa “every morning”.
“The first batch that we gave comes from Cara. Cara is a special fund which is accumulated from the crime proceeds and brought back to the government to fight criminality,” said Cele.During the handover, Cele instructed the national commissioner of police to tell the Public Order Police team that was receiving some of the vehicles, that they should not laze around in their offices instead of doing their job.
“It is here where the reporting of incidents and swift, prompt and coordinated response to any and every eventuality within the mandate on NatJoints will unfold,” he added.
