WOMEN'S MONTH IS NOT ONLY ABOUT CELEBRATION BUT ALSO ABOUT ACTION

Safety, GBV roadblock

As Women's Month started, women officers from Mowbray police took centre stage in a large-scale integrated roadblock operation aimed at promoting commuter safety and raising awareness about gender-based violence (GBV).

The operation, held on Klipfontein Road and led by Station Commander Lt Col Cleo Arnoldus, brought together 30 women and eight male officers from the police, City's law enforcement, and private security companies.

The team stopped and searched 194 vehicles, issued 70 traffic fines amounting to R48 800, and handed out 250 educational pamphlets focused on GBV and commuter safety.

Two Uber vehicles were impounded for noncompliance, reflecting the operation's strict enforcement of transport regulations.
