Winde to continue fight for Western Cape police unit
17 September 2019
Western Cape Premier Alan Winde says he won't be giving up the fight to have a provincial policing unit which would answer to national government.
Winde made this remark while addressing the Cape Town Press Club on Tuesday afternoon.
Winde said safety and security remained the top priority for his provincial government, going as far as revealing that each member of his cabinet had to come up with a security plan for their respective department.
"We have 24 constitutional specialists who are looking into ways of changing the Constitution to allow for a Western Cape provincial policing unit. Not only that, they are looking at how changes in policing in the province can happen within the existing law," said Winde.
