Cape Town Allocates Record Funds for Safety

SAfm Cape Town 15d15d Impact 6
The city of Cape Town has allocated a record 6.8 billion rand for its safety and security directorate for the 2026-2027 financial year. This represents the largest investment ever in crime prevention and public safety for the city. JP Smith, the mayoral committee member for safety and security, confirmed the allocation. This investment aims to offset losses in staff numbers within the South African police force. Over the past four years, the police have lost approximately 1,300 staff members, while the city has gained slightly less than that, around 1,280.

“In Cape Town the city has been trying to also upset the losses that the South African police have suffered in numbers Through their budget challenges, they've lost over the last four years Around a thousand three hundred staff and we've gained just a little bit less than that is the city a thousand two hundred and eighty So there isn't an attempt to do that. We're making a modest investment.”
