Hon Speaker, on 4 November 2010 the Minister of Police, supported by the department and senior management of the SA Police Service, SAPS, launched Operation Duty Calls, which is a festive season crime-fighting campaign. The operations will include: high police visibility, increased roadblocks, and stop-and-search operations. Police will also execute high-density operations while maintaining visibility at all hot spots.
The ANC supports the drive by the Minister and SAPS to mobilise our force over the period. Let me in advance thank the men and women in the SAPS, who will sacrifice by working over the festive season so that we can spend our time safely with our families. We call upon all citizens of our country to co-operate and work together with our SAPS members to fight crime, particularly during the festive season. Viva, Operation Duty Calls! Viva!
