The National Police Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola, called for unity during his address on Thursday, 10 July.
He addressed Crime Intelligence senior management to introduce key acting appointments and reinforce a collective mission. During the meeting, Masemola emphasised the importance of refraining from smear campaigns or activities that damage the integrity and morale of the South African Police Service (SAPS).
The Crime Intelligence Division’s role was also reiterated at the meeting. The General said it is fundamental in identifying threats, disrupting criminal networks, and safeguarding the nation.

“The stability within the Crime Intelligence environment is non-negotiable for maintaining broader national stability,” Masemola added.
The General also introduced the newly appointed Acting Divisional Commissioner, Major General Solomon Makgato and announced several other acting appointments to fill vacant senior management posts within the Crime Intelligence environment.
