MIDVAAL – The Midvaal Local Municipality (MLM) has expanded its fleet with state-of-the-art safety vehicles and equipment to ensure the safety and security of all residents and visitors.

The municipality says it has added two high-performance Ford Raptors to start its new law enforcement task team.
The Executive Mayor, Peter Teixeira, says this is in line with their key mayoral commitment of making the community safer.
These new vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including number plate recognition cameras connected to their control
room and linked to the SAPS database.
“This will significantly aid in identifying vehicles implicated in crimes,” Teixeira said.
The vehicles are also equipped with drones for aerial surveillance and will be an armed response unit, enhancing our capability to respond
swiftly and effectively to any incidents.
According to Teixeira, the municipality has also invested in the procurement of a cutting-edge boat, Marine 1, for Vaal Marina.
“This boat, locally manufactured by Sensation Boats and the first of its kind to be used inland on dams, is equipped with radar and sonar technology, night vision cameras, and will work exclusively on the Vaal Dam in cooperation with the NSRI and the SAPS Water Wing,” Teixeira said. According to Teixeira, this investment will make Vaal Marina a safer and more attractive tourist destination, especially during the holiday season.
“The fleet will be operational once all the relevant licenses are in place and operational requirements such as hiring safety officers are met.
We pride ourselves on spending money where our residents feel the most benefit, and these expansions will ensure that they feel safe. We
remain dedicated to investing in the safety and security of all people in Midvaal,” Teixeira says.
