Cape Town - Sixty-four peace and traffic officers will today begin their deployment in the Cape Winelands district working to assist local law enforcement and police in Worcester, Robertson, and Ceres.
The 64 newly sworn-in officers will be deployed on a one-year Extended Public Works Programme placement within their local municipalities.
Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz said that the deployment of the officers was part of the Western Cape Safety Plan.
Fritz said: âThe implementation of our community safety plan in rural communities and district municipalities has been made possible through the implementation of the district and local municipalitiesâ safety plans. These were developed in partnership with the Department of Community Safety, local and district municipalities.
An ex-Springbok rugby player. The notorious 27s gang. The assassination of an international steroid dealer.
The three may seem totally unrelated, but court cases taking shape and set to play out in Cape Town are exposing suspected links between them and just how far the reach of organised crime as the State alleges stretches.
In the latest developing case, Jerome “Donkie” Booysen was arrested on Thursday, 18 February, along with five other men.
One of the five is Clinton Langeveldt, a former City of Cape Town law enforcement officer who reportedly resigned after he was arrested in November 2017. At the time of his arrest in the suburb of Bellville South, he was allegedly found in possession of R2-million worth of Mandrax.

So-called private investigator Zane Kilian allegedly had so much personal information on murdered Anti-Gang Unit member Charl Kinnear that he even knew details of the detective
s bond.
The State alleged during his bail application that not only was Kinnear and lawyer William Booth tracked, but their wives and security company players were also targeted for either pinging or having their personal details trawled.
Kilian claims he only worked for a mystery Mr X who needed to know when the police were coming to his house.
On the day the Hawks descended on Zane Kilian s house in Springs in the course of the investigation into Anti-Gang Unit detective Charl Kinnear s murder, he allegedly made a hurried phone call.
