RALLIED THE TROOPS

- SIYABONGA SITHOLE

ACTING Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia and National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola have rallied the troops deployed to the G20 Leaders’ Summit with clear instructions to act decisively against troublemakers this weekend.

The acting minister, in the company of Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi, City of Joburg Mayor Dada Morero and Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi, oversaw the G20 Leaders’ Summit's last preparatory operations during a parade held at the FNB Stadium’s outfield yesterday.

Cachalia said that in light of the extensive preparations ahead of the global event, he is confident that this summit will be as incident-free as all the 130 preparatory meetings ahead of the summit.

His address comes just hours after leaders of the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) declared law enforcement’s state of readiness to combat any form of disruptive behaviour at the two-day gathering.
