Acting Minister of Police, Firoz Cachalia, has formally declared Gauteng traffic wardens as peace officers in a bid to complement police numbers and boost road safety, traffic enforcement and crime prevention across the province.
He made the announcement at a joint media briefing with Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mmamoloko Kubayi, Gauteng Premier, Panyaza Lesufi, and other senior officials in Pretoria on Saturday.
Cachalia described the move as a significant milestone in strengthening law enforcement capacity and improving coordination within the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster.
