He was joined by the Deputy National Commissioners for Human Resource Management and Policing respectively, Lieutenant Generals Bonang Mgwenya and Fannie Masemola and the Divisional Commissioner of Legal Services, Lieutenant General Sally Khan. The Acting National Commissioner, when addressing law enforcement members on parade at Kings Beach, advised them that our top priority as police members is the communities we serve and they must always be treated with respect. "During these holidays we urge the communities to act responsibly. The excessive use of alcohol not only leads to death on our roads, but also to the increase in certain crime trends such as murder, assault, rape and domestic violence. We also see an increase in drownings. By acting responsibly, our communities can ensure that a safe and peaceful holiday season is enjoyed by all," he added.
