In a coordinated night operation on Thursday, the City of Tshwane, with integrated by-law enforcement and metro police, targeted lawlessness in Sunnyside and the Pretoria CBD, leading to the closure of an illegal brothel named K20 Hotel on Lilian Ngoyi Street. Officials discovered 54 rooms where women reportedly paid R4,000 monthly to rent space, and the Chinese national managing the establishment was arrested. The operation also resulted in the closure of a restaurant due to a lack of trading licenses and unsanitary conditions, with rotten food being confiscated. Additionally, over five vehicles were impounded for obstructing traffic and occupying pedestrian walkways, and one individual was arrested for obstructing justice.
