President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Friday, 30 August 2024, attend the signing of the Cooperation Agreement to Combat Crime to be held in Cape Town, Western Cape Province.

The President will deliver a keynote address and witness the signing of the agreement led by Minister of Police, Mr Senzo Mchunu, in partnership with Western Cape Premier, Alan Winde, Government and City of Cape Town Executive Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis.

This significant event follows a stakeholder engagement held on the 27th of August 2024, which saw a robust and productive dialogue with representatives from Community Policing Forums (CPF), spiritual organisations, and the business community.
