#sapsGP In the wake of the #SaferFestiveSeason campaign, the #SAPS Gauteng Water Policing and Diving Services recovered 28 bodies from various locations across Gauteng since the beginning of December 2024 until 19 January 2025.

This festive season was however dominated by rescue, recovery and  diving operations. Heavy rains and flooding contributed to members carrying out 10 diving recovery ops, 17 rescue and recovery ops with 6 victims rescued and sadly 17 victims’ bodies recovered in separate incidents. 

Throughout these incidents members still managed to conduct in excess  of 17 vessel patrols, 193 resort visits, 196 vessel checks, attend 12  complaints, issue 67 warnings, remove 26 illegal markers and confiscate  hundreds of metres of illegal fishing nets during December. #WaterSafety ME
