SAPS officials have arrested more than 20,000 people for failing to follow South Africa’s adjusted level 3 lockdown restrictions introduced on 28 December.
Police minister Bheki Cele, who made the announcement on Wednesday, said that most of these arrests have been around the country’s current prohibition on the sale and transport of alcohol.
He said that around 7,000 people have been arrested for failing to wear masks.
Cele said when people are arrested for not wearing a mask, they are taken to a police station where they are formally charged, and have their fingerprints taken.
