However, the heightened police visibility did not stop the fatal shooting of a man in Overcome Heights on Tuesday afternoon.
Provincial police commissioner Thembisile Patekile addressed reporters during a search and seizure operation in neighbouring Steenberg.
“The scene is still live, and there are people on the scene now. We wouldn’t know what the motive is. It happened before the operation started there.”
Patekile said police officers would remain in the area until calm is restored.
