Since the country was moved to lockdown level 1, there has been a spike in unauthorised events and the Diepkloof SAPS is warning residents about any event that takes place without any application at the City’s Joint Operations Committee (JOC) offices.
“Organisers need to apply at the JOC to host events, they also need to remember that we are still under lockdown and people must comply with the Covid-19 regulations. We are aware of posters and flyers circulating Diepkloof advertising and inviting people to upcoming events that are not authorised.
“We have also spotted some places of entertainment where liquor and food are being sold and people don’t have licenses to sell those and they don’t even have permits for events,” Diepkloof SAPS spokesperson Captain Phephi Matlou-Mteto.

“The community must know that no event must take place without application, failure to comply will lead to an arrest,” she added.
If you wish to host an event, avoid trouble, and follow the correct procedure. Following is the JOC Application Process to be followed by all event managers/organisers involved in the planning of events.
Make a booking for a presentation slot by completing the form below to notify the Events Management office of their proposed event two weeks before the staging of the event. The completed form must be sent to jocevents@joburg.org.za and subsequently, an appointment will be scheduled for a presentation by the concerned event manager/organiser.
