Rustenburg’s city centre came to a standstill today as municipal officials, led by Executive Mayor Sheila Mabale-Huma, launched a high-impact operation targeting illegal activities. Supported by Municipal Manager Ashmar Khuduge, Members of the Mayoral Committee (MMCs), various directors, police, and private security, the authorities took firm action against lawlessness in the area.
The operation resulted in the arrest of numerous undocumented foreign nationals, the seizure of drugs, the demolition of illegal structures, and the closure of non-compliant businesses. Among the businesses shut down was the well-known IS Tavern on Klopper Street.
Municipal Manager Ashmar Khuduge emphasized that the operation was also aimed at addressing illegal electricity and water connections, which significantly impact municipal revenue. “This is about restoring order and ensuring that municipal resources are not unlawfully exploited,” Khuduge stated.
The residents of Rustenburg widely welcomed the operation, with many expressing satisfaction and calling for such initiatives to be carried out regularly.
Executive Mayor Sheila Mabale-Huma echoed these sentiments, acknowledging the widespread lawlessness in Rustenburg. “This is just the beginning. These operations will be ongoing to ensure that order is restored in our city,” she affirmed.
The crackdown marks a significant step in addressing issues of non-compliance and lawlessness in Rustenburg, promising a safer and more regulated city environment.
