The Western Cape has welcomed 940 newly appointed constables, as part of the 2 700 new police officers who recently graduated from different police colleges nationally.
The new appointments were well received by Western Cape Police
Commissioner, Thembisile Patekile, during a parade at 35 Squadron, Erica Drive,
Belhar, on Tuesday.

He also highlighted crime in general with the emphasis on
violent crime which are rife and the theory they have learned, will be put to
test in practice. Patekile reminded them that the Code of Conduct will be their
‘bible for their entire career’.
‘’Your deployment will bolster boots on the ground to live
your calling to serve and protect, with pride and professionalism… Do not
change the Blue uniform for an orange one.’’
Authorities also destroyed about R50 million’s worth of
alcohol that was confiscated between April and November 2024, of which 71 333
litres were destroyed.
