The deputy minister of police, Maggie Sotyu, will be in Nelson Mandela Bay on Tuesday.
The reason for the visit by the whole leadership is to engage with the police, community policing forums, street committees and members of the community about social, policing and criminal challenges facing the area.
The area has for the past 15 years experienced challenges of gangsterism, drug and child trafficking and violence towards foreign nationals.
Safety and Liaison MEC, Helen Sauls-August, the MEC for Social Development, Pemmy Majodina and Provincial Police Commissioner, Celiwe Binta will accompany the deputy minister to Port Elizabeth's Northen Areas.
Executive Mayor Benson Fihla, the Mayoral Committee and councillors will form part of the visit and engagements over the next few days.
