Buya Mthetho raids Inner-City Clubs

Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, MMC for Public Safety Michael Sun and the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) conducted the raids in the Johannesburg CBD, Hillbrow and Yeoville.
“We were investigating if he had the right documents and if the shop was compliant,” Minnaar revealed.
A sound system was also confiscated in the CBD at Kiss Kiss nightclub and the establishment was given a notice to close.
Fourty Five, a tavern in Minors Street, Yeoville, was closed down due to alleged non-compliance and for operating without a liquor licence.
JMPD spokesperson Wayne Minnaar said a fire had to be put out at Rabboni take-away outlet in Hillbrow after the owner forgot to switch off the stove.
The officers were in an establishment next door busy with Operation Buya Mthetho when the man saw them.
Scared that he would be the next one to face the might of the law, he is alleged to have told his staff to knock off, closed the restaurant and made a run for it but with the stove still on.
The place caught fire and the officer had to put down the flames and call firefighters who later brought it under control.
Spokesperson for the Joburg Metro Police, Wayne Minnaar said the incident happened on Tuesday night while they were busy with the operation.
Eleven places of entertainment were raided in the Johannesburg inner city on Tuesday night as part of the Buya Mthetho campaign.
Minnaar said citizens should expect more operations throughout the festive season. He urged the community to support law enforcement personnel.
