Acting Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia says South Africa’s security apparatus is fully prepared for June 30, with the government placing law enforcement on heightened alert amid concerns over potential unrest and criminal disruptions.
Cachalia made the remarks on Monday during a briefing on national security readiness following a review of the integrated NATJOINTS operational plan.
He was joined by Defence and Military Veterans Minister Angie Motshekga, deputy ministers Cassel Mathale and Dr Polly Boshielo, and senior SAPS leadership led by Acting National Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane.
While officials described the voter registration weekend as largely peaceful, authorities confirmed several serious violent incidents that have heightened concern ahead of 30 June.
