2024 elections | Western Cape wants more power over the police

CAPE TOWN – The Democratic Alliance (DA) is advocating for the devolution of police powers to provincial authorities. Western Cape Premier Alan Winde emphasized the potential benefits of this shift during a town hall debate on eNCA on Sunday. Winde believes that granting provinces more control over their police forces would enhance their ability to combat crime effectively. He firmly stated his commitment to this cause, expressing his intention to persist in lobbying for greater provincial authority over policing. Winde’s push comes amid ongoing concerns about crime rates and law enforcement efficacy in the Western Cape.
