Over 50 Arrested In Johannesburg Cbd Raid During Joint Operation

More than 50 people were arrested on Saturday morning following a joint police operation in the Johannesburg CBD. Operation NomakanjaniManje Namhlanje is aimed at targeting undocumented foreigners, as well as general crime prevention.

Amongst those arrested are suspects found in possession of drugs, suspected stolen copper cables, and undocumented foreign nationals.

Law enforcement officials, together with private security, were all boots on the ground on Saturday in the inner city of Johannesburg.

This brought many streets in the CBD to a complete standstill.

MMC for Community Safety, Mgcini Tshwaku, says lawlessness will not be tolerated in the inner city.
