Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia
Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says he is confident law enforcement agencies are prepared to maintain order during the planned nationwide anti-immigration protests on June 30, with a special police operation activated.
Cachalia was speaking in Cape Town on Tuesday after meeting the management of SAPS Nyanga police station and representatives of the Community Policing Forum.
The visit formed part of a nationwide readiness campaign that will include engagements with premiers, MECs and mayors.
"I hope I'm not going to have to eat my words, but I believe the police are ready, given the urgency, responsibility and professionalism with which they have responded," he said.
