He told the Courier that there was no place to hide in Gauteng.

He also said that provincial commissioner Lieutenant General Elias Mawela has further commended the work well done by the Gauteng police and urged the community to continue to work with the police by calling the crime stop number 08600 10111 or by giving a tip-off on the MySAPS app.
