Hi Steve Let me know soonest preferably by 14h00 tomorrow 10th Nov if there will be an exercise this weekend and more importantly, if it will involve removing structures from the informal settlement near the Salt River bridge mentioned previously as a homeless people hot-spot. If so, we will do our best to involve Law Enforcement Officers who have the powers to assist us more effectively in removing illegal structures as well as *stop and search* if required
