Chairperson of the priority committee Lt-Gen Tebello Mosikili said police visibility will be heightened in and around the conference centre to prevent opportunistic crime before, during and after the summit. This will include law enforcement agencies from departments under the justice, crime prevention and security cluster such as defence, home affairs and the SA Police Service.
Mosikili said they have also partnered with the Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg metro police departments to implement the security plans. “Members of the public are cautioned against committing any illegal acts as law enforcement agencies will not hesitate to act against anyone who conducts themselves in an unlawful manner. Any threats or disruptions will be dealt with decisively within the ambit of the law,” she said.
