“With women at the forefront, we are showcasing that female officers are just as capable of carrying out their duties independently, having undergone the same training as their male counterparts,” Sekele said.

An official from Modderbee Correctional Services said they were pleased to take part in the initiative, which was proposed by the Modderbee Women’s Forum. The collaboration aimed to trace absconders, curb crime, and increase police visibility in the area.

The operation yielded significant results. One man was arrested after providing false information about his driver’s licence and identification. A total of 53 traffic fines, valued at R17 950, were issued.
