Nomsa Nhlapho is now responsible for regional policing and is one of the two deputy commissioners recently announced by the TMPD.
"Being a cop was never my first career choice, however, I had been drawn to law enforcement for as long as I could remember," she said.
Nhlapho started her career in 1996 as the first female black provincial inspector with the department of community safety and worked herself up through the ranks and became a control provincial inspector in 2006.
She was appointed as manager of traffic, licensing and security in the erstwhile Kungwini local municipality in 2008 and moved through amalgamation to the City of Tshwane in 2011, where she was promoted to regional director in 2013.
