More than two decades of service in the TMPD reflect Superintendent Fredah Segone’s perseverance, leadership and a commitment to community safety.

According to Tshwane Metro spokesperson Colonel Isaac Mahamba, Segone joined the TMPD on July 1, 2002, as a constable and has steadily progressed through operational and supervisory ranks to her current position as shift supervisor in the Social Crime Prevention Unit.

Her early career saw her serving in the Road Policing and By-laws Unit in Region 3, Sector 2, at Madiba Street. She was promoted to sergeant in 2006 and lieutenant in 2008.

“Driven by a desire to make a meaningful contribution to the fight against crime, Segone became one of the first female officers to be nominated for motorcycle training. She later joined the TMPD’s Escort 2010 FIFA World Cup buses and was involved in escorting buses from stadiums across Gauteng,” he said.

Mahamba said her dedication and skills led to her appointment as superintendent in 2012.

She also strengthened her qualifications by obtaining a BTech in Road Traffic and Municipal Police Management.

He added that Segone’s career reflected the opportunities available to officers who remained committed to serving their communities and developing their skills.

Mahamba highlighted her work in social crime prevention, where she manages community-based programmes that address the causes of crime and strengthen relationships between law enforcement and communities.

“Segone’s responsibilities include projects focusing on school crime prevention, crime-prevention presentations, prison visits, the ‘Bring a girl/boy child to work’ initiative, and programmes tackling gender-based violence, bullying and substance abuse,” he said.

Her work also involves creating awareness around issues affecting young people and supporting initiatives designed to prevent crime before it occurs.

With more than 20 years of continuous service, Segone’s journey from a constable to a superintendent stands as an example of career progression within the TMPD and the contribution of women in policing and community safety.

As the TMPD celebrates Women’s Month, Segone’s story highlights the role of women who continue to serve and lead while making a difference in their communities.
