In a recent operation by the South African Police Service (SAPS), known as Operation Basadi, 13 individuals were apprehended in the Free State regions of Kutlwanong and Odendaalsrus. This operation, carried out on Saturday, was multi-faceted, encompassing an awareness campaign focused on pressing issues such as gender-based violence. The all-female team involved in Operation Basadi conducted various activities, including business inspections and document verification.
The operation extended its reach beyond mere arrests, leading to the closure of two businesses that were found non-compliant. Among the charges levied were contraventions of the immigration act, possession of suspected stolen property, and other infractions.
Following the successful conclusion of the operation, the #OperationBasadi Parade was held, commencing with a scripture reading and prayer led by Brigadier (Rite Reverend) SG Shobede-Nkosi, the Section Head of Spiritual Services. This event underscored the commitment of the SAPS in addressing societal issues through a collaborative and inclusive approach.
