Only the reduction of crime, fear, and disorder will reveal how successful we are,” he said. “The days of reactive thinking are over, we need to be vigilant and committed to dealing with crime in our city.” Speaking directly to his directors, he said he expected them to focus on the needs of those they were responsible for. He added that his directors needed to know how their staff was performing and reward them for when they do good. Metro police vehicles in formation at the inauguration of the new chief.

Tembe was appointed as EMS director of operations in 2001 and was in charge of the City of Johannesburg’s 26 city fire stations.
