Public Safety MMC leads by-law enforcement operation in Midrand
He visited food trailer owners on Lever Road and illegal recyclers on R101 Old Pretoria Road in Midrand, where some cooking items, such as pots and gas-stoves, were confiscated.
Tshwaku was accompanied by various departments, including the Johannesburg Metro Police Department's by-law enforcement unit, land invasion unit, citizen relationship and urban management (CRUM), and immigration unit.

Noordwyk Residents Association chairperson Bonginkosi Nhlapo, who was also part of the operation, praised Tshwaku's efforts. 'Just wish there were more arrests of illegal immigrants, and the shutdown of all the street vendors, moving trucks, and food trailers. Maybe, if he was mayor under the current coalition, Johannesburg would have a fighting chance to be cleaned up.'
Nhlapo said more raids of this nature would help improve Midrand, and help it to go back to the suburb it used to be.
JMPD spokesperson Superintendent Xolani Fihla confirmed being part of the raid. 'Ours was to accompany the MMC and ensure that our various units enforce by-laws directly related to them.'

Partey facing five counts of rape Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been charged with five country of rape, police from the UK say. Photo: Andrew Cowie/Colorsport/DPPI via AFP Police in the United Kingdom say former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been charged with five counts of rape. Ghana international Partey is currently without a club after leaving the Gunners following the expiration of his contract at the end of June. 'The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised the Metropolitan Police Service to charge a man after a file of evidence was submitted by detectives,' read a police statement posted on Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano's Instagram page. 'The Met has issued a charge and requisition to Thomas Partey, 32, of Hertfordshire, in connection with the following offences: Five counts of rape, One count of sexual assault.' According to the statement, the offences are alleged to have taken place between 2021 and 2022. It remains to be seen if the allegations have an impact on the player's search for a new club. Interest in Partey's services were thought to be high after his departure from North London, with Spanish giants Barcelona though to be one of the clubs who were keen on bringing him on board. Atletico Madrid were also said to be keeping tabs. According to reports, there was also interest from Italy and Turkey. More to follow IOL Sport
