Nelson Mandela Bay district police commissioner agrees with protesting residents that there is no police visibility.
About 200 residents from wards 30, 33, 36 and 41 in Gqeberha marched to KwaDwesi police station on Wednesday to demand better policing.
Police spokesperson Priscilla Naidu said five suspects managed to get away before taking three guns from the guards. She urged anyone with information to contact Detective Lieutenant Colonel Willie Mayi on 0826975914. Mynanda and 45 other residents have resorted to conducting their own patrols. “Over weekends there are only five officers on duty and the telephone line is not functioning. If we need assistance we must call the station commander directly on his cellphone.”Resident Lungi Mnyaba said, “Two months ago I decided to join street patrollers because I don’t want our youth to become criminals in vigilante activities. We also want more police members and vehicles.
