flag South Africa launches specialized units in Gauteng to fight rising organized crime, including political assassinations and kidnappings, after 10 police officers were killed in late 2025.

flag The South African Police Service has launched two specialised units in Gauteng to combat rising organised crime, focusing on political assassinations and crimes linked to kidnappings, extortion, and infrastructure projects. flag The move follows a surge in violent incidents, including the murder of 10 police officers between October and December 2025, and aims to strengthen law enforcement through intelligence-driven, multidisciplinary efforts. flag The units, modelled on proven task teams, are operational and part of a broader strategy to restore public confidence, though experts stress that long-term success requires systemic reform, proper resourcing, and community-based solutions beyond militarised responses.
