The Western Cape’s Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembisile Patekile, has urged officers to refrain from posting content on social media platform, Tik Tok, whilst in uniform.

females, on parade ahead of Operation Basadi, preparing them to fulfil their
duties in identified areas.
"You are the property of the State, on duty as well as
off duty. Always adhere to the Code of Conduct. Don't let the community lose
confidence in us. We are losing a lot of you as females off duty because of
choices you make in life. Please take care of yourselves. The criminals are out
there to harm you. Cover each other.’’
‘’When you perform your duties, you are exposed to what we
call in police language as a code 64.
Reach out to the person and ensure that the person receive the necessary
assistance. As police members, we need to take care of our own mental
situation. Take the treatment that is available,’’ advised Western Cape’s
Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembisile Patekile.

"This is women's month. You must be proud. Thank you
to all women who are the reason for us being here as males who could experience
a special women's day. You are the pride of the nation. You will be assisted by
the male colleagues who are present with you on the parade. As females, please
be mentally strong in your mind," said General Patekile.
‘’Continue to exercise on Wednesdays. It will be to your
own advantage. Don't allow a chemical imbalance to rule your life,’’ he added.
