Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato said the increase violence in Delft is out of control. 

This follows the death of two men who were shot and killed in Delft on Tuesday. 

It is believed that gang violence in the area is beginning to increase again. 

MEC Plato said in the last couple of weeks, many people have been shot in the area.

“I am in touch with the neighbourhood watch and the Community Policing Forum and also the South African forum” Plato added.

Plato said he is conducting community leaders in the broader Delft region to see what can be done about the problem.

“I hope that SAPS will make arrests very soon and that they do proper investigations to ensure proper convictions in the court of law” Plato reiterated.
