National Police Commissioner General Fanie Masemola says it is concerning that 900 000 suspects have been arrested since the inception of Operation Shanela in May last year.
The police operation consists of regular stop and searches, roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints and the tracing of wanted suspects. Masemola was speaking at a media briefing in Pretoria where he gave an update on crime combating operations. “It is concerning that if 900 000 people in a specific country get arrested, then we start crying to want more prisons instead of wanting more schools and more universities, now we’ll be looking for more prisons.”
He gave an update on crime combating operations countrywide including successes and interventions. Masemola added that police and detectives who left the service in good standing are encouraged to apply to return, as they need more boots on the ground.
