'It's a genocide' - bullets and bloodshed rocks Mitchells Plain | TammyPetersen87
Stop and drop - this is the lesson a Mitchells Plain father says he has taught his children for when gunshots start ringing out."It's quiet today. But it can change in a few minutes," the man insists, clicking his fingers.
In a statement, he said Cele's response to his letter was:"The crime situation is handled by the South African Police Service. There is no need for the SANDF to be deployed in the Western Cape, the current interventions are yielding positive results." "We know there are 10 murders and 10 attempted murders a day in our province; we know that 7 out of the top 10 murder stations are in the Western Cape. If this is not horrific enough to move the minister to respond to the cry of the people, nothing is," Winde said.De Villiers, however, said he understood the difficulty in deploying the army to intervene in community safety as the matter had been raised with the minister during an anti-crime engagement in 2018.
The launch of the Anti-Gang Unit and Operation Thunder - through which members from specialised units from other provinces will be brought in to deal with crime in the Western Cape - resulted in a somewhat quiet period from August into the festive season, De Villiers said.
