“This move by the DA crystalizes their backward intentions of undermining and reversing the gains of our democratic dispensation as well as the creation of a non-racist society.”
The City of Tshwane launched a bicycle unit to help fight crime in the country’s capital city last week.
The unit is a result of a partnership that began a year ago between the city and the Hatfield City Improvement District (CID).
The CID is a non-profit organisation made up of properties in the area. Bicycles were funded by the business community within the CID. The unit is part of the Tshwane Metro Police Department.
Msimanga said the unit will start with just 20 volunteer officers‚ but is expected to be expanded to other parts of Tshwane‚ including the city centre.
