WO Thobela Nzimani received the Western Cape’s Detective of the Year Award at a ceremony held last year.
According to Capt John Bartlett from the Delft police great work should be celebrated and employees should be recognised for the excellent work they performed.
“This not only results in them doing even better but also inspires others who are walking the similar path to do better. It is truly inspiring that some employees choose a career path that requires bravery and gallantry.
“Not only does Nzimani have an excellent personality, she also does sterling work at the Delft policing precinct,” says Bartlett.
Excellent duties performanced
During the course of her career in the police Nzimani was awarded with various certificates of achievement for excellent duties performanced.
“She performs her tasks in a very positive and professional manner and therefore she was nominated and received the award.
“She managed to achieve and exceed the targets that was set for detection rate, trial ready cases and for conviction rate.
“Gender Based Violence is the order of the day in the Delft policing precinct and among others Nzimani ensured that an accused was convicted and send to jail for15 years.
“Another accused received 5 year imprisonment for defeating the ends of Justice. As Delft is notorious for gang violence and murders, where firearms are involved, Nzimani also ensured a conviction and sentence of 11 years for an accused for possession of a firearm without a license,” says Bartlett.
Nzimani says because she works in one of the most dangerous areas in Cape Town, getting convictions is rewarding.
“I am very proud of this award and it is proof that anything is possible,” she says.
