On August 14, Lieutenant Colonel Dormel led Operation Basadi, which resulted in the arrest of three suspects: one for possession of suspected illegal drugs, one for possession of illegal cigarettes and dagga, and one for being an illegal immigrant.

“The operation included stop-and-search activities, particularly in the Kempton Park CBD, where theft and vehicle-related crimes are frequently reported,” said Kempton Park SAPS spokesperson Sergeant Dipuo Ditshego.
