#sapsHQ The National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Fannie Masemola has stated that #IlegalMining in Bapong will not be allowed to continue, as the lives and livelihoods of our communities are at risk. General Masemola received a full briefing from the NATJOINTS on possible intervention measures that can be immediately implemented. The National Commissioner stated that immediate intervention measures will be implemented such as: ▶ we are enhancing and heightening our crime combating operations to deal decisively with these illegal mining activities… ▶we are deploying more police officers on the ground such as crime intelligence officers, members of the hawks, detectives and tactical units to prevent and combat these illegal mining activities. ▶ We have also established an integrated and multidisciplinary intervention team within the PROVJOINTS AND NATJOINTS to ensure implementation and enforcement of our country’s laws. What is currently happening here, is illegal and detrimental to the environment, including water sources and most importantly, poses a health and imminent safety risk for our communities. This is theft of minerals which belongs to all South Africans and which legally done can contribute to economic growth, community development and decent jobs in the area. It’s important to highlight that only the DMPR can legally issue a permit or license for any mining activity. So anyone who is not in possession of a permit from the DMRE to mine, is committing a crime. ▶This intervention team will include officials from various departments led by SAPS inclusive of the Department of minerals and petroleum resources, department of water and sanitation, the department of forestry fisheries and the environment, the department of home affairs, the department of justice and constitutional development and others. This team has already hit the ground running and will continue to work to stabilise and normalise this area through all possible means to stop these illegal activities. ▶Daily operations will be monitored on a weekly basis while we intensify and sharpen our long term plans to ensure a lasting solution to these illegal acts. ▶Daily operations will include compliance inspections and disruptive operations together with DMPRE at identified sites for illegal mining activities… ▶ We are continuing with our disruptive operations and where necessary we will continue to effect the necessary arrests and conduct search and seizure operations of tools and resources that are being used to conduct these illegal mining activities. ▶we remain committed to working closely with our communities and key stakeholders to put a stop to these illegal and dangerous activities… ▶I will be receiving a weekly report on progress made in dealing decisively with this challenge… ▶ and we will find anyone who is behind these illegal operations and they will answer to crimes committed ▶we urge our communities to cooperate fully with our law enforcement officers and to refuse to be used by these criminal elements.

#sapsHQ [COUNTERFEIT GOODS WORTH MORE THAN R160 MILLION SEIZED DURING TAKEDOWN IN JOHANNESBURG CBD] The National Counterfeit and Illicit Goods Unit seized counterfeit goods worth more than R160 MIL during a multi-disciplinary operation in the Johannesburg CBD this week. The team, with support from the Public Order Policing (POP) Unit in Pretoria, the South African Revenue Services (SARS) Customs Division, and brand protectors, executed search-and-seizure warrants on Tuesday, 13/10, at several identified shops located in a retail building. This resulted in the seizure of more than 62 000 counterfeit items including high-end branded clothing, footwear, cosmetics, watches, jewellery, and sunglasses. The operation forms part of ongoing nationwide efforts to dismantle the illegal trade, manufacturing, and distribution of counterfeit and illicit goods in the country. Community members are reminded: ▶️ Counterfeit goods infringe on the intellectual property rights of legitimate brand owners; ▶️ Counterfeit and illicit goods pose serious health and safety risks to consumers; ▶️ These products are often manufactured and distributed outside regulated systems, with no regard for quality standards, safety, or lawful trade practices; and ▶️ Legitimate manufacturers and retailers lose market share to illegal traders, leading to reduced production and job losses. #StopIllicitTrade #SayNOtoCounterfeitGoods #PartnershipPolicing ME

#sapsHQ [HAPPENING NOW] Day 1 and the first challenge is in the bag . One thing’s for sure, nobody should take #SAPS lightly. The Special Task Force isn’t competing, they’re running the show. The most elite unit in the country is managing this challenge, setting the pace, and overshadowing everything with their skill and presence. 70 teams are here to prove themselves, but they’re doing it under the sharp eyes of the very best. The week is far from over… but the tone has already been set. #SAPSSWATChallenge2025 #SAPSStrong SG
