Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster: Government on state of readiness for general elections

The JCPS Cluster has been hard at work analysing the safety and security situation in the country and putting measures in place to protect all our citizens as they exercise their constitutional right to choose a political party of their choice for the next administration of the country.

At this stage, we can reemphasise our confidence that all safety and security measures have been put in place to create an environment for free and fair elections starting from the 6th to the 8th of May 2019.

All relevant security-aligned departments within the three spheres of government are continuously working tirelessly to ensure the successful delivery of the 6th general elections. As a force multiplier we will be deploying around 3 504 reservists nationwide.

The JCPS cluster will ensure that the 6th general elections will be conducted in a safe and secure environment. As the cluster we reemphasise that we are operationally ready to execute our mandate and ensure a safe and secure environment for free and fair elections to prevail.
