New police precinct boundaries
New police precinct boundaries in effect.
The Brakpan SAPS will no longer police the Apex area and Msholozi informal settlement in Benoni after new police precinct boundaries came into effect on October 1.
The boundaries determine which station polices what area and where crime in that area should be reported.
Apex and Msholozi have been returned to the Benoni SAPS precinct.
