Phemelo speaks to Joburg Public Safety MMC Dr Mgcini Tshwaku about a major high-density operation targeting hijacked and unsafe buildings in the inner city. One such property on Marshall Street was found packed with shacks, lacking fire safety measures, and illegally connected to power and water posing serious risks. Over 40 undocumented individuals were detained, and a child needing medical help was rescued. Dr Tshwaku emphasized the city’s firm commitment to restoring law and order and protecting residents from hazardous living conditions.
