KaMadlopha-Mthethwa briefed the multiple law enforcement agencies in the Inkosi Mtubatuba Municipality Council meeting before they conducted a roadblock on the N2 around KwaBhoboza on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast.<\/p><p>These deployments include SAPS, the Road Traffic Inspectorate, and the South African National Defence Force. &#8220;Today, I want to pay a special tribute to the men and women in blue for their sterling work in protecting our citizens on the country&#8217;s road networks. While many people are on holiday and enjoying themselves, you&#8217;re out here protecting us and ensuring that we arrive alive to our various destinations,&#8221; said kaMadlopha-Mthethwa. The MEC Champion for uMkhanyakude District also encouraged motorists and pedestrians to be safe ahead of Christmas and New Year holidays.<\/p><p>During the roadblock, a minibus taxi with Mozambican registration numbers was flagged. It was found that it had 17 passengers and a driver, all suspected to be illegal immigrants destined for various places within KwaZulu-Natal. They included two minors, children and adults who were all processed by immigration officers and the Department of Social Development for deportation. It is believed some were being trafficked.<\/p><p>Considering that livestock theft is rampant in the area , MEC Thembeni KaMadlopha Mthethwa also cautioned law enforcement to deal with farmers or anyone transporting livestock within the area , which also will help prevent the scourge of FMD in the area.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kzndard.kznsshf.gov.za\/images\/Documents\/Events\/2024\/LawEnforcementOperation\/LawOperation2.jpeg\" \/><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kzndard.kznsshf.gov.za\/images\/Documents\/Events\/2024\/LawEnforcementOperation\/LawOperation4.jpeg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kzndard.kznsshf.gov.za\/images\/Documents\/Events\/2024\/LawEnforcementOperation\/LawOperation3.jpeg\" \/><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Law Enforcement Operations \u00a0 On Wednesday, 18 December 2024 MEC Champion for uMkhanyakude District, Thembeni kaMadlopha-Mthethwa, who&#8217;s also the MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, has paid a special tribute to the road traffic officers and other law enforcement agencies for what she said was sterling work in protecting the country&#8217;s citizens on the roads.
