G20 Summit
The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) says day two of the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg passed without security breaches. Authorities continue to monitor closely, but for now, law enforcement reports a smooth, disruption-free second day.
Law enforcement authorities say Day Two of the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg passed without any major security incidents, according to the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS). Despite tight security, heavy deployments and protest activity, no breaches have been recorded so far.
Deputy National Police Commissioner and NATJOINTS co-chair Tebello Mosikili confirmed that officers are closely monitoring the Nasrec precinct and its immediate surroundings. She said that years of planning, dry-run operations and intelligence gathering have paid off. According to her, intelligence operatives are deployed throughout the area to detect and respond proactively to any potential threats.
Police have reiterated that they are ready to act decisively, but for now, they are confident that the summit is proceeding in a secure and stable environment. The security cluster’s measured approach is aimed at allowing peaceful protest while ensuring the safety of delegates and citizens alike.
Meanwhile, traffic disruption remains a fact of life: the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) has warned of rolling road closures linked to VIP movements. These intermittent closures are part of the heavy traffic-management plan for the final day of the summit, as delegations depart and security convoys move out.
