Government is"winning the war" against gangsterism and drug dealing on the violence-plagued Cape Flats in the Western Cape.
Ramaphosa made the remarks while responding to concerns raised by residents of Mitchells Plain, who pleaded with him to put pressure on the police to root out gang violence and drug dealing in their area. "Since the establishment of the anti-gang unit, gang violence and gang activity has gone down by 24%. It means that it's working, it means that now we are after the gang leaders, the gang members because, as I said when we launched it, we want to put them behind bars…hulle moet tronk toe gaan…We've got a very active minister of police chasing down all these gangsters," said Ramaphosa.
The predominantly coloured community of Mitchells Plain also told Ramaphosa that they felt the requirement to state their race on government job application forms was being used to marginalise them."My brother Marshall talks about this wonderful democracy and says that there's no integration and expresses a deep sense of concern and worry about how coloured people are being relegated to the back and how for instance the forms that are filled in still have a race column.
