SAPS members continued to strengthen relationships with communities through crime prevention awareness campaigns, school safety initiatives, victim support programs, engagements with community police Forums (CPFs), neighborhood watches, youth structures and other community stakeholders. Police says these engagements focused on encouraging community participation in the fight against crime and promoting safer communities throughout the province. According to information, provincial commissioner Lieutenant general Koliswa Otola commended all members and partner departments for their unwavering commitment and professionalism and cited that "operation Shanela II remains a key crime-fighting initiative that demonstrates police determination to reduce crime, remove criminals from the communities and improve the safety of all residents. She also extend her appreciation to the communities of the Northern Cape for their continued support and cooperation, particularly during the peaceful voter registration weekend."
