The South African Police Service (SAPS) has received a significant boost by handing 251 new operational vehicles to various stations and units in the Western Cape Province. The cars are equipped with the latest technology, including dash cameras and onboard computers, and are expected to improve response times and make policing more accessible to the public.
The recent rearrest of Thabo Bester and Dr. Nandipha Magudumana in Tanzania has been a welcome development for the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru). Bester, who had previously escaped from the Mangaung Correctional Center in South Africa, was on the run for several months before being apprehended by South African Crime Intelligence officers.
