Johannesburg - The Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (Joints) is ready to police the opening of Parliament, national police spokesperson Vishnu Naidoo said on Wednesday.
“The operation will primarily entail the high visibility of the various security forces in uniform and some in civilian clothes patrolling in vehicles, on foot, on bicycles, motor bikes and horseback,” he said in a statement.
“The objective of the plan is to ensure the implementation of uncompromising security measures, to limit the probability of critical incidents occurring, and in the unlikely event they do to limit the impact of such an incident through contingency planning.”
Joints was made up of the South African Police Service, the South African National Defence Force, the traffic department and the intelligence community, said Naidoo.
The acting national police commissioner, Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkwanazi was briefed on Wednesday on the state of Joints' readiness.
Naidoo said Cape Town’s roads in the vicinity of Parliament would be closed from 6am on Thursday.
There will also be a 20km-radius of restricted air space during and shortly after the opening. - Sapa
