The female officers led Operation Basadi, which took place in Ivory Park, Extension 15 and 2, under the command of Brigadier Kgoroba of the Kempton Park SAPS.
The Ivory Park SAPS, together with the Tembisa SAPS Cluster and members of the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD), held an operation to promote 16 Days of Activism against women and child abuse on Tuesday last week.
The female officers led Operation Basadi, which took place in Ivory Park, Extension 15 and 2, under the command of Brigadier Kgoroba of the Kempton Park SAPS.
The Ivory Park SAPS spokesperson, Warrant Officer Neldah Sekgobela, said they distributed pamphlets against the abuse of women and children to motorists, pedestrians and Ivory Park residents.
“Condoms were also distributed to members of the community to observe World Aids Day,” said W/O Sekgobela.
The police officers conducted road blocks as well as stop-and-search operations.
“Locals were also stopped and searched as part of crime prevention. We managed to arrest four people during the operation. Two were arrested for public drinking while the other two were arrested as they are illegal immigrants,” said W/O Sekgobela.
