Operation Shanela, a high-density crime-combating initiative launched in May 2023, utilized a variety of tactics including vehicle checkpoints, stop and searches, foot and vehicle patrols, and compliance inspections. Detectives also targeted activities such as drugs and cross-border commodity smuggling.

In addition to the arrest of the wanted suspects, the operation also resulted in the arrest of 92 other suspects for offenses including murder, assault, robbery, and drug-related charges. Police also conducted compliance inspections at various establishments, leading to the confiscation of large volumes of alcoholic beverages, cellphones, drugs, and illicit mining implements and equipment.

Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, the Provincial Commissioner of the Northern Cape, credited the success of Operation Shanela to heightened police visibility in the province.
