♦️ Earlier Today ♦️ The MMC for Public Safety attended court proceedings in Westonaria following the arrest of five members of the JMPD Tactical Response Unit (TRU) and two officers from the Recovery Unit by SAPS. According to preliminary information, the TRU officers responded to a tip-off and proceeded to recover a suspected stolen vehicle. While processing the scene, SAPS members from Bekkersdal arrived and arrested the JMPD officers. The charges brought forward appear to lack substantive basis. The officers’ service firearms, vehicles, and mobile devices were confiscated, and they were detained over the weekend. It has also been reported that JMPD Internal Affairs officials were not given information when attempting to inquire about the arrests. It is further alleged that the vehicle involved is linked to an individual associated with illegal mining operations. And it has since vanished This has raised concerns regarding the coordination and communication between SAPS and JMPD during joint operational activities. We therefore call upon General Mthombeni to urgently intervene and ensure a transparent and thorough investigation into this matter. The working relationship between law enforcement agencies must be based on mutual respect, accountability, and the shared objective of upholding law and order across the City of Johannesburg. #AskPublicSafetyMMC #NomakanjaniManjeNamhlanje
