Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia stated on March 4, 2026, that the proposed R120 million N2 highway wall in Cape Town will not reduce crime, saying infrastructure alone cannot replace essential policing like patrols, intelligence, and investigations.

Opposition party Bosa criticized the wall as a symbolic, ineffective solution that reflects outdated planning and diverts funds from real crime-fighting and social investment.
