The DA in the province said it will fight tooth and nail to prevent the national government’s plans to establish a single police service which they say is part of a wider ANC plot to “hijack and capture Cape Town’s law enforcement powers”.
Steenhuisen and Hill-Lewis were accompanied by MEC Fritz and a crowd of supporters in DA t-shirts.
The protest was intended to send a clear message that the DA-led City of Cape Town is committed to expanding local law enforcement powers and step in where national government has failed to keep communities safe.

Reacting to the DA, ANC provincial community safety spokesperson Mesuli Kama said the DA’s protest was nothing but an electioneering ploy and that the protest was actually part of a campaign by the DA to advance its federalism agenda.
