Premier Panyaza Lesufi addressing Gauteng Traffic Wardens during the announcement of a programme overhaul.
The Gauteng Provincial Government has announced a major restructuring of the Gauteng Traffic Wardens (GTW) Programme aimed at strengthening law enforcement capacity, improving infrastructure protection and expanding youth employment opportunities.
The revised model will see the programme repositioned into a hybrid, multi-stream structure designed to ensure compliance with legislation and align with national training standards.
Addressing wardens at Ellis Park Arena in Johannesburg on Sunday, June 21, Premier Panyaza Lesufi outlined the future operating model of the service.
“The first stream will focus on traffic law enforcement and road safety compliance, strengthening provincial traffic policing capacity and improving road safety outcomes. The second stream will focus on visible policing, crime prevention and integrated operations with the South African Police Service (SAPS), supporting efforts to combat crime in identified hotspot areas and improve community safety.”
