1000 new law enforcement trainees undergo training in Cape Town

One thousand new law enforcement trainees of the City of Cape Town, under the LEAP programme, will add to the 1 300 that are already on the ground in the crime hotspots of the city.
This is to assist the SAPS in the fight against a Metro ravaged by criminality.
Five of the top ten crime hotspots in the country are from the Cape Metro, according to latest SAPS crime statistics.
Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and Premier Alan Winde are to attend the training session.
Let's cross live to Vanessa Poonah for the latest.

When panyaza did this in Gauteng the DA said it was a waste of time and money. now they're doing it themselves and it's being regarded as a genius idea. 😂😂

John steenhuisen is a crook , he was hiding fir along time that DA is supporting illigal foreigners same as he was using maimane to win african votes by putting him in front

[@mrfun4540]

Its too late for the DA in WC. Panyaza was smart enough and did this program months ago, he may reip the rewards due to that.
