Cape Town - Women’s Month and weekend anti-crime operations led by women officers from the South African Police Service and various other law enforcement agencies in the Western Cape have delivered significant results, the SAPS in the province said on Sunday.
The tracing operations started at 2am on Friday morning and continued to midday, with 42 people arrested. Of the arrested suspects, 26 were wanted for rape, 10 for sexual assault, and six for assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm and attempted rape, she said. The objectives of the activities were crime prevention, bringing perpetrators of crime to book, and much-needed awareness on crimes against women, children, and other vulnerable groups, Potelwa said.
An outreach programme at three old age homes in Steenberg and Retreat with humanitarian aid organisation Gift of the Givers and women representatives from the law enforcement agencies also formed part of the day’s initiatives. Blankets and essential supplies were donated to the senior citizens at the Village Care Centre, and the Douglas Murray and Mandoline old age homes, Potelwa said.
