The Western Cape Social Development MEC Albert Fritz has called upon the members of society to keep an eye and protect older people.

Fritz said older people are murdered for their pension money in communities.

An 82-year-old woman was murdered in Gugulethu earlier this month.

 Fritz said drugs could be the main cause of these brutal attacks on elderly people.

He added that these attacks can be prevented if neighbours practiced a routine of checking each other on a daily basis.
