Today, 22 July 2025, the Democratic Alliance (DA) will conduct a walkabout along exploded Lillian Ngoyi (Bree Street), Carlton Centre, and Small Street engaging shop-owners on the impact of crime on their businesses.
The delegation will then proceed to Johannesburg Central Police station to conduct an oversight inspection.

As part of its Anti-Crime Campaign, the DA will conduct a walkabout to hear from local shop owners and visit Johannesburg Central Police Station to assess whether it has the resources to tackle inner-city crime and protect the local economy.
The delegation will be led by Gauteng Leader of the Official Opposition, Solly Msimanga MPL. He will be accompanied by:
The DA Gauteng Shadow MEC for Community Safety, Crezane Bosch MPL,
The DA Gauteng Spokesperson for Community Safety, Michael Sun MPL, and
