Cape Rail Enforcement Unit's deployment extended, but no manpower boost

The deployment of the Rail Enforcement Unit that prioritises the safety and security of Metrorail commuters and infrastructure in Cape Town has been extended for another year...

Since its inception in October last year, the unit has acted as a force multiplier for Prasa’s regional protection services unit.

Together, the teams have ensured greater operational visibility on trains and stations, searching more individuals during joint operations and confiscating a greater number of dangerous weapons and fraudulent train tickets...

The unit will remain at a force strength of 100 officers...

Interesting to see a South African news outlet using the term "manpower" in its headline. Usually South Africa is in the forefront of using inclusive language.
