Tomorrow, 23 February 2023, Western Cape Minister of Police Oversight and Community Safety, Reagen Allen, will embark on various safety initiatives in parts of the West Coast District.

These include the following:

  2. Unannounced SAPS station visits to selected police stations,
  3. Vehicle checkpoint (VCP) Saldanha Bay municipal area and
  4. Engaging the Tabakbaai neighbourhood watch

The newly appointed Provincial Minister of Mobility, Ricardo Mackenzie will join the VCP.

Minister Allen said: “I am looking forward to these engagements and activities. The Swartland K9 unit have been part of significant firearm and ammunition discoveries over the last few days, while the reaction unit have also made their presence felt in various ways.
