Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has announced that all municipalities in the province have joined forces to combat crime. This united effort aims to pool resources and create a safer environment for all residents.
In a recent press conference, Lesufi stated that the collaboration between municipalities is a significant step towards tackling the growing crime rate in Gauteng. He emphasized the importance of working together to address this pressing issue and praised the municipalities for their willingness to join forces.

With this in mind, the decision to unite all municipalities in the fight against crime was a natural progression. Lesufi believes that this partnership will not only strengthen the fight against crime but also improve the overall quality of life for Gauteng residents.
The pooling of resources between municipalities will allow for a more coordinated and efficient approach to tackling crime.

This includes the installation of CCTV cameras in high-risk areas and the use of drones for surveillance. These measures will not only assist in preventing crime but also aid in the speedy apprehension of criminals.
The collaboration between municipalities has already yielded positive results. In a joint operation, the municipalities were able to arrest a notorious gang responsible for a string of armed robberies in the province. This success has further motivated the municipalities to continue working together and intensify their efforts in the fight against crime.
The united front against crime has also received praise from various community leaders and organizations.
