Gauteng Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Tommy Mthobeni is mobilising maximum resources as South Africa continues to grapple with issues surrounding immigration and undocumented migrants.
As concerns mount across South Africa over an upcoming June 30 deadline set by anti-illegal immigration groups for undocumented migrants to leave the country, Gauteng police commissioner, Lieutenant General Tommy Mthombeni, has assured residents that the province's law enforcement agencies are ready for any eventuality.
Speaking from Kempton Park, where the province delivered the comprehensive fourth-quarter crime statistics for the 2025/26 reporting period, Mthombeni revealed the extensive preparations underway. His forces, which include more than 9,000 members of the Community Policing Forum (CPF) and over 8,000 Gauteng Traffic wardens, signify a significant commitment to ensuring order during the impending protests, which are expected to coincide with the arrival of the June 30 deadline.
"Yes, of course, we are ready. I would say collectively, we are ready. We have adopted the whole government approach with six pillars of policing, which have been approved by the government since 2022. We are really hard at work," he stated.
