7 June 2026 – Following the successful Operation Shanela II operations conducted in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District, the Northern Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, continued her crime-fighting efforts in the ZF Mgcawu District, where she led a series of disruptive actions aimed at combating criminality. Otola was accompanied by the District Commissioner of ZF Mgcawu, Major General Monica Sebili, members of the Community Policing Forum, Community in Blue, and members from surrounding police stations and specialised units in the greater Upington area.

She further said the operations included visits to taxi ranks, stop-and-search actions and high-visibility patrols. Otola added that compliance inspections were also conducted at formal and informal businesses, salons and food outlets.

“Officials from the Department of Home Affairs assisted police by verifying the immigration status of individuals found at these establishments. In addition, we hosted a Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) awareness campaign at the Thembelihle Hall in Paballelo, aimed at raising awareness and encouraging communities to take a stand against GBV.

“Intelligence-driven operations led by senior management will continue unabated across the province to restore stability and intensify efforts to combat criminal activities,” she said.
