Feedback on Operation Safer Festive Season and launch of Operation Fiela

Before we begin with the introduction of Operation Fiela – at my last week’s press conference I undertook to return back to all of you and provide some answers relating to Operation Safer Festive Season I launched on the 13th October 2017.

Operation Safer Festive Season officially ends on the 31st of this month, January 2018.

As we begin Operation Fiela today, SAPS Operation Safer Season will be easing out ending this month end. This plan enables us not to leave a vacuum on the streets and strategic spaces of our country.

Government objectives are underpinned by the commitment that by 2030; “All People in South Africa Are and Feel Safe”, this will be achieved by going beyond the call of duty to safeguard society in fighting crime during the festive season; and ensuring overall stability in the country by managing all service delivery protests, political gatherings, and protests actions.

An inter-departmental approach, coordinated by the National Joint Intelligence and Operational Structure (NATJOINTS), was deployed.
