With regard to the 10-point crime-fighting plan outlined by Minister Bheki Cele during his speech on 23 May 2023:

The reply of the South African Police Service (SAPS):
28. | (a) | The Minister’s 10-point crime-fighting plan has been incorporated in the National Policing Strategy for implementation by key business units. Those focus areas that are the reporting responsibility of the Provincial Commissioner Western Cape, have been integrated into business unit plans for implementation in the Province, through which the relevant deliverables will be operationalised, coordinated and monitored.
