Eastern Cape Transport and Community Safety MEC Xolile Nqatha has welcomed the deployment of additional police resources to Nelson Mandela Bay.
On Sunday, 150 public order police members, as well as 15 detectives, and crime intelligence officers arrived in the Metro to boost local police resources.
Nqatha said in a statement that they would be deployed to hotspot areas that include Kwazakhele, Kwanobuhle, Bethelsdorp, and Gelvandale.
“As the Eastern Cape government, we want to reassure the residents of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro that our crime-fighting strategies are beginning to yield positive results.
“We also welcome the additional resources provided by the national government, which will enhance our efforts to combat crime effectively in the Metro," MEC Nqatha said.
