The Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato said too often criminals are allowed to walk free as the next link in our criminal justice chain, the prosecution, fails to prove sufficient guilt. 

Plato said he is proud of the police for the quick arrest of two suspects in the shooting of Glenrico Martin of Spes Bona High School. 

Plato added that he would now like to ask South African Police Service to please ensure that they have all their ducks in a row, and to ensure proper investigations that result in successful prosecution.

“I want gangsters to know that if they commit a crime they will pay for their crimes.” Plato
