# The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety has raised concern that roadblocks conducted by Metro Police and Gauteng Traffic Police are increasingly used for revenue collection rather than crime prevention. During a meeting with premier Panyaza Lesufi and provincial police commissioner Tommy Mthombeni, members noted that many operations focus on unpaid fines instead of targeting criminals, drugs, or illegal firearms. The committee urged intelligence-driven, crime-focused roadblocks to improve safety, while calling on motorists to obey traffic laws.
