Mpumalanga's Safety MEC Jackie Macie wants to bolster the province's crime-fighting power by placing crime prevention wardens at police stations.
The new Safety MEC’s plan is based on Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s controversial 2023 crime prevention warden initiative to curb crime in South Africa’s economic hub. “It is within the constitution that citizens have the right to safety. Therefore, it is important to ensure safety in communities at all times,” Macie said.According to the MEC, the wardens, which would be placed in all 90 of the province’s police stations, would work with the relevant role players to improve safety.
