The Northern Cape Province has taken a firm stance against crime through a coordinated effort involving police and multiple government departments. Over a week, significant actions were taken to combat priority crimes, with 180 arrests made for serious offenses, attempted murder, assault GBH, and illegal drug and liquor trafficking.

The operation also included extensive roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints, high-visibility patrols, and stop-and-search actions, resulting in the search of over 5,600 people and more than 2,100 vehicles.

Compliance inspections were carried out at various establishments, leading to the closure of 12 unlicensed liquor outlets and the destruction of illegal homemade concoctions.

In a proactive effort to address rural safety, 78 farms were visited, involving cooperation from the Department of Home Affairs and the Department of Labour. Community outreach initiatives raised awareness about child safety and gender-based violence, further contributing to public education and crime prevention.
