The operation began with a traffic roadblock along OR Tambo Road, focusing on road traffic regulations.

Subsequent inspections in the CBD assessed compliance across local establishments.

Inspectors uncovered several concerning issues: Unsafe staircases and lack of ventilation, animals inside premises, creating unsanitary conditions, the absence of essential compliance certifications, non-compliant fire extinguishers and unsealed equipment, expired goods, and illegal electrical connections posing fire hazards.
