Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi has reaffirmed his commitment to the province's former crime prevention wardens, known as AmaPanyaza, assuring them that their positions remain secure.
Addressing the wardens during a gathering in Johannesburg on Sunday, Lesufi dismissed speculation about their disbandment following a recent report by public protector Kholeka Gcaleka.
Gcaleka's investigation concluded that the Gauteng government's establishment of AmaPanyaza in 2023 was irregular.
The report said the provincial government had acted without a legal framework to recruit, train and deploy over 8 900 wardens to perform policing duties.
