Yes, the central focus of the SA Police Service, the SAPS, is to create a safe and secure crime-free environment that is conducive for social and economic stability, supporting a better life for all by stamping the authority of the state. Underline stamping the authority of the state.
The SAPS executes crime combating operations in the identified top 30 high crime stations. Operation Fiela - Reclaim II is a
stabilisation and crime combating intervention, whilst sustaining basic conventional policing and stimulus operations to retain economic stability in the country.
The operations are multidisciplinary with integrated operational processes, resources and intelligence, in collaboration with all stakeholders and agencies, to address the identified threat in a results driven and holistic manner. All the operations, including Okae Molao, which is a provincial operation in Gauteng under Operation Fiela - Reclaim II, implement the following five-pillar approach. Pillar one is intelligence gathering, analysis and co- ordination. Pillar two is a proactive approach and high visibility. Pillar three is a combat approach, rapid response and hardcore policing. Pillar four is reactive through detection, including an organised crime approach detection tracking prosecutorial lead investigation, organised crime threat analysis, process and case management. Pillar five is communication and liaising.
Positive results are being yielded and the Minister of Police has given an instruction that it be executed in all provinces, co- ordinated by the SAPS head offices. All operations are being monitored at police stations, and at cluster, district, provincial, as well as at national level. Thank you.
