They will operate in four zones which include eThekwini and surrounding areas as well as the Ugu and Harry Gwala districts.

The crime-fighting operation was officially launched at the old Durban drive-in earlier.

The officers are now in Umlazi township - conducting some roadblocks and possible stop and searches.

Meanwhile, the first phase of the crime operation was launched in 2015 to target perpetrators in attacks against immigrants.
