Community Safety MEC Alan Winde said it's been six months since the provincial government first reached out to Cele with a list of urgent policing needs and policies.
CAPE TOWN - The Democratic Alliance in the Western Cape has declared an inter-governmental dispute with Police Minister Bheki Cele.
He said despite numerous follow-ups, there hasn't been a response. Offers to assist with the additional policing resources needed in the Western Cape have also fallen on deaf ears.Winde said the province needs urgent additional personnel to fight crime. "We need to ake sure that we are able to address gang violence, the appaling murder rate and the protection of our learners at school, public transport - specifically our trains - and our infrastructure and lastly, our ambulances.
'The minister has ignored us. He is now obliged by Section 41 of the Inter-governmental Relationships Framework, Act 13 of 2005, to meet urgently with the Western Cape government."
