NATJOINTS
Drie-punt plan word geaktiveer
Polisie kom vir dié wat agter geweld sit
Die groot koppe van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) het mense wat “agter sosiale mediaplatforms, anonieme boodskap-groepe of gemeenskapsvergaderings wegkruip om geweld aan te hits”, gewaarsku om hul doen en late te stop of daar sal gevolge wees.
Die waarnemende Nasionale Kommissaris van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD), luitenant-generaal Puleng Dimpane, het Woensdag 3 Junie 2026 saam met die voorsitter van die Nasionale Gesamentlike Operasionele en Intelligensiestruktuur (NATJOINTS), luitenant-generaal Tebello Mosikili, ‘n mediakonferensie in George, Wes-Kaap gehou oor geweld in die land.
Die afvaardiging is vergesel deur die Provinsiale Kommissaris van die Wes-Kaap, luitenant-generaal Thembisile Patekile, en die waarnemende Adjunk-Nasionale Kommissaris vir Misdaadopsporing, luitenant-generaal Khosi Senthumule.
Die afvaardiging het intervensies uiteengesit om wet en orde te herstel en te handhaaf, sowel as maatreëls wat daarop gemik is om die veiligheid en sekuriteit van alle inwoners regoor die land te verseker
NATJOINTS het ‘n omvattende operasionele plan geaktiveer wat die SAPD, staatsveiligheidsagentskap, metropolisiedepartemente, verkeerswetstoepassing, binnelandse sake, korrektiewe dienste, die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag en ander regeringsdepartemente insluit.
Die operasionele plan het drie sleutel bene:
● Meer sigbaarheid en vinnige ontplooiingsvermoëns: Wetstoepassingsbeamptes is in brandpunte en strategiese gebiede regoor die land ontplooi. Bykomende openbare orde-polisiëringsbronne bly op bystand om vinnig te reageer op enige voorvalle wat openbare veiligheid en stabiliteit bedreig.
● Intelligensie-begeleide operasies: Intelligensiestrukture versamel en ontleed voortdurend inligting om bedreigings te identifiseer, beplande geweldsdade op te spoor en proaktiewe intervensies te ondersteun voordat die misdaad gepleeg word. Diegene wat glo hulle agter sosiale media platforms, anonieme boodskap-groepe of gemeenskap vergaderings kan wegkruip om geweld aan te hits, moet weet dat wetstoepassingsagentskappe aktief kriminele gedrag monitor en op sal tree as daar genoegsame bewyse is.
● Geteikende operasies teen misdaad: Gesamentlike operasies word uitgevoer om kriminaliteit aan te spreek wat onder die dekmantel van gemeenskapsveiligheid gepleeg word. Dit sluit in operasies om gesoekte verdagtes te arresteer, onwettige vuurwapens te konfiskeer, dwelmsmokkelary in die hok te slaan, afpersing netwerke te ontwrig en onwettige persone deur middel van wettige immigrasie prosesse te hanteer.
SAPS outline strategy to maintain order
‘Full might of law will come for you’
The top brass of the South African Police Service (SAPS) have warned those who believe they can “hide behind social media platforms, anonymous messaging groups or community meetings to incite violence”, they will face the full might of the law.
The Acting National Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS), Lieutenant- General Puleng Dimpane, together with the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) Chairperson, Lieutenant-General Tebello Mosikili, briefed the media in George, Western Cape on Wednesday, 3 June 2026 following violence aimed at foreigners over past weekend.
The delegation was joined by the Provincial Commissioner of the Western Cape, Lieutenant-General Thembisile Patekile, and the Acting Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lieutenant-General Khosi Senthumule.
The delegattion outlined interventions to restore and maintain law and order, as well as measures aimed at ensuring the safety and security of all residents across the country.
NATJOINTS has activated a comprehensive operational plan that brings together the South African Police Service, State Security Agency, Metro Police Departments, Traffic Law Enforcement, Home Affairs, Correctional Services, the South African National Defence Force and other key government stakeholders.
The operational plan focuses on key areas:
●Enhanced visibility and rapid deployment capabilities: Law enforcement officers have been deployed in identified hotspots and strategic areas across the country. Additional public order policing resources remain on standby to respond swiftly to any incidents that threaten public safety and stability.
●Secondly, intelligence-led operations: Intelligence structures are continuously gathering and analysing information to identify threats, detect planned acts of violence and support proactive interventions before criminal incidents occur. Those who believe they can hide behind social media platforms, anonymous messaging groups or community meetings to incite violence should know that law enforcement agencies are actively monitoring criminal conduct and will act where evidence exists.
●Targeted crime-combatting operations: Joint operations are being conducted to address criminality that may arise under the guise of community concerns. These include operations aimed at arresting wanted suspects, confiscating illegal firearms, addressing drug trafficking, disrupting extortion networks and dealing with undocumented persons through lawful immigration processes.
