Acting National Commissioner Lt-Gen Puleng Dimpane says SAPS has finalised operational plans and mobilised resources ahead of the planned 30 June demonstrations.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) says it is ready to police the planned demonstrations on 30 June and will act decisively against any criminal conduct while protecting lawful protest.

Dimpane said the meeting, also attended by Acting Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia, Deputy Ministers Polly Boshielo and Cassel Mathale, and PSIRA CEO Manabela Chauke, focused on coordination, communication and operational preparedness.
“The purpose of today's engagement was clear,” she said, adding that stakeholders had only days left to ensure proper coordination and planning ahead of 30 June.
