International Firefighter’s Day is a special day that honors and celebrates the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to ensure the safety of our communities. This day recognizes the sacrifices they make and the dedication they have to their profession. The City of Cape Town’s Fire & Rescue Service is a prime example of this commitment, consistently demonstrating its unwavering dedication to keeping residents safe.
The Easter weekend is a time of heightened activity and vigilance for law enforcement services in Cape Town. This year, the City’s law enforcement officers made 361 arrests, up from 332 in 2022, and issued 72,465 fines for various offences. The increase in arrests weekonweek, but also compared to the week of Easter last year, speaks to the efforts of staff when many of us were enjoying some downtime.
