Earlier this month 14 teens, all affiliated with gangs, lost their lives.
The Service and Allied Workers Union of South Africa says it will “with immediate effect” embark on anti-crime campaigns to counter the rising number of murders linked to gangsters in Cape Town.
In follow up operations by the authorities six policemen from the Anti-Gang Unit were shot at and injured as they tracked suspects in the Samora Machel area in Cape Town. At least one suspect has been apprehended by police in connection with the shooting incident. The union said it was well aware that Cape Town remains one of the most unequal societies in the world.
“We call upon all faith-based leaders to fulfill the gospel imperative of making the Cape Flats and South Africa in general, a better place for all to live in with justice, peace and harmony.”
