Police in Durban
The South African Police Service (SAPS) says the country remained stable in the 24 hours leading up to the planned June 30 protests as the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster activated its national operational plan.
Addressing a media briefing on Monday, Lieutenant-General Tebello Mosikili said Operation June 30 had entered its full implementation phase, with law enforcement agencies deployed across all nine provinces as reported by IOL.
Mosikili said the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structures, provincial command centres and operational teams were functioning around the clock, while Public Order Policing units, specialised response teams and the SAPS Air Wing were on standby to respond to any incidents.
She said intelligence structures were monitoring developments in real time and operational commanders were receiving continuous updates to enable rapid decision-making.
