Law enforcement agencies will remain on high alert until the 2026 Local Government Elections process is officially concluded, as the IEC continues counting and verifying results.
NATJOINTS co-chairperson Lieutenant General Tebello Mosikili said security forces remain focused on protecting voting materials, securing results operations and preventing disruptions.
Speaking on Thursday evening, Mosikili said intelligence-led deployments helped maintain a largely peaceful voting environment, despite isolated incidents.
She identified KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, Mpumalanga and Gauteng as hotspots that received particular security attention.
Mosikili added that planned marches and protests did not materialise, while law enforcement intervened to address challenges at some voting stations.
NATJOINTS said its security operations would continue until the IEC formally concludes the elections.
