In a bid to fight the crime scourge around Midrand, and in the country, police and local churches launched Divine Intervention Approach (DIA).

Deputy chairperson of the initiative Linda Padayachey said they urge the public and other churches to join forces with the police in fighting lawlessness.
“DIA desires that all the other stakeholders such as the Community Policing Forums, community members, and different organisations work with us, so that we can all overcome all the bad things, including crime that is happening in our area of Midrand, and South Africa at large,” said Padayachey.
DIA came through Major General Max Masha, who will be retiring soon.

We will go back and give feedback to Brigadier Tsotsotso on what transpired here today. And we don’t take your presence here for granted because you opted to be here. And for that, we appreciate the efforts and ensure that the structure exists within the community safety structures,” said Figlan.
