Premier Alan Winde: Appointment of new Provincial Commissioner
2 Jul 2021
Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with Lieutenant General Thembisile Patekile who has been appointed as the Provincial Commissioner to the Western Cape.
We were further joined by the Deputy Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sindile Mfazi, and the Provincial Minister of Community Safety, Albert Fritz.
Lt. Gen. has undergone a rigorous recruitment process and has come out as the strongest candidate to serve our province. I look forward to working closely with him.
It was very reassuring to hear from Lt. Gen. Patekile on his detailed plans to address crime in the province, which include a focus on gangsterism and extortion.
