Gauteng Traffic Police and motorbikes flown down for SONA
8 February 2017
The DA in Gauteng has been reliably informed that the Gauteng Provincial Traffic Police will be sending 20 officers and 18 motorbikes to strengthen the state authority presence at the 2017 State of the Nation Address (SONA) tomorrow.
This comes at a time in which President Jacob Zuma has requested 441 SANDF officers to assist in maintaining “law and order”.
It begs the question as to why these provincial traffic police, which should be serving on Gauteng’s many freeways, have been moved out of the province to assist with the SONA.
The Western Cape and the City of Cape Town are fully capacitated to manage SONA with their provincial traffic police and metro police officers.
