The Minister of Police, Mr. Fikile Mbalula will this Friday host a Ministerial Imbizo with the community of Soshanguve in Tshwane. The Minister plans to interact with the community, police stakeholders and the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the fight against crime and building community partnerships. This will be Minister’s second Ministerial Imbizo following the one hosted at Mfuleni in Cape Town last Friday.
