Statement by the Executive Mayor of Cape Town,
Alderman Patricia de Lille
City working to minimise impact of possible disruptions
on Wednesday
The City of Cape Town is working closely with the South African Police
Services and a range of other stakeholders to ensure that we minimise
the impact of any possible disruption to major transport routes into the
city tomorrow morning.
In consultation with the South African Police Services, we have made
provision for the deployment of an increased number of law enforcement
staff to identified hotspots throughout the city.
Furthermore, we have put in place a number of other contingency
measures to help prepare for any disruptions that may occur.
At this stage is unclear what the possible extent of any disruption may be,
however, it must made clear that any illegal actions will be dealt with
firmly and within the confines of the law.
We encourage all residents of the city to continue with their normal daily
business tomorrow, but also to remain vigilant, especially when travelling
into the city.
