Natjoints outlines G20 security plan

Executive Summary

The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NatJoints) briefed the media on robust security preparations for the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg, the first such event on the African continent. Key measures include heightened police visibility, a soft lockdown around the Nasrec venue shifting to a hard lockdown from November 21-24, road closures on major routes like the N1 and M1 during convoys, and a five-pillar approach encompassing intelligence, proactive policing, and public awareness. Drawing on successes like the 2010 World Cup and 2023 BRICS Summit, officials expressed confidence in an incident-free event and called for public cooperation in the spirit of Ubuntu to ensure safety for all.
