Committee to visit Alberton Police Station over crimes committed by funny farm residents
The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety will on Wednesday, 7 February 2024 conduct an oversight visit at the Alberton Police Station.

The Committee will visit the Alberton Police Station to get an account from the Police Management at the Station on what is being done to deal with the crime syndicate from Funny Farm that has for some time been committed to causing terror in the Alberton Community.
Details of the Oversight Visit are as follows:
