![CrimeWatch_RSA's tweet photo. [YOUTH MONTH] Today, we introduce the nation to 34-year-old Constable Tshepang Bafana, the only female Tactical Response Team (TRT) Operator in the North West Province.
Resilience, willingness and a drive to learn have enabled Bafana to strive to do her best and succeed. She would at all costs take any opportunity that enables her to better herself.
Born on 08 September 1991 in the dusty streets of Taung, Bafana later relocated to Ikageng Township at an early age due to the loss of her mother.
As a child, she embraced physical fitness, beauty and mental readiness. Bafana also made sure she acquires skills in computer literacy and obtained her driver’s license just after she matriculated.
Bafana worked in retail around Potchefstroom for about three years before moving from one job to another. She explore different opportunities and developed herself for financial growth.
Bafana later moved to Gauteng province where she registered for modelling with two agencies and ultimately entered the Miss South Africa Beauty Pageant and ended up in the Miss SA Regional Round of Judging. The member’s passion for fitness and healthy habits, landed her a job at a fitness centre for five years.
Bafana joined the SAPS in 2019 and completed her basic training at Tshwane SAPS Academy. Her commitment and focus mounted even further as she was elected a platoon leader.
Upon completing basic training, she was placed in Klerksdorp Community Service Centre (CSC). Bafana moved two years later to Crime Prevention in Potchefstroom, where she worked for two years.
In October 2023, Bafana went to Mpumalanga and attended the TRT Preparation and Conditioning Phase Training in Moloto. She was part of the first 100 candidates selected nationally: 11 females and 89 males. The training comprised of rigorous physical training which she excelled in.
Out of one hundred candidates, only 23 males were declared competent and Tshepang was the only female that made it to the top structure on that phase, she proceeded to the next three phases (weapon, rural and urban), completed the training and was found competent.
In 2024, Bafana represented North West at the championships in Free State, participated in Functional Fitness and won a gold medal. In November 2024, she also represented North West province at the SWAT challenge hosted by Special Task Force, with over 70 teams that participated; the province finished in position 4.
The operator is currently an assistant TRT trainer and recently completed her National certificate in Personal training.
One of the momentous situations since becoming a TRT operator was when she jumped fences and personally apprehended one of the suspects wanted in connection with the murder of eight people in Kanana in July 2024.
“I am the legacy of strength, I was not called to fit in. I was called to stand out, a difference maker,” says Bafana.

Messi and Ronaldo did the exact same thing. One got applauded, the other received a yellow card.
No matter what he does, they always find a way to go against him 😭💔
@L_Gcuda He missed two clear cut chances lol
Cristiano Ronaldo, has missed two sitters. This is so bad. Leave the football , before the football leaves you
🚨This Congo supporter who poses like a statue and doesn’t move for the whole 90 minutes will be at the World Cup game against Portugal 😭🇨🇩
@uAce_ Same bro
@L_Gcuda 3-0 bafanas . Hat trick
@L_Gcuda But ?? This doesn’t tell us anything tbh
What a player
@livescore He will score 0 goals
@KompressorHQ Talk about a GOAT
The funny thing about the World Cup is when Ronaldo fans all pivot and shift from supporting Ronaldo and all turn to support Mbappe 😂😂😂 even now, they are saying Mbappe will catch up with Messi’s record. They are not saying anything about their person
@BongaOfficial Messi is just too much to handle😵💫😂😂😂
@ElRam_TheeMbuzi By the way, if Ronaldo has a bad game (which he will) , they won’t say anything 😭😭 they will talk about stuff, they won’t even mention his performance
This morning, I attended the June 16 wreath-laying ceremony at the Hector Pieterson Memorial Site, honouring the courage and sacrifice of the 1976 generation.
Their struggle continues to inspire our fight for freedom, dignity and economic justice.
Economic Freedom and Social Change Now, Not Later!
