The Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato said Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa is the biggest roadblock to effective policing in the province. 

MEC Plato said it is inappropriate that Mthethwa would use the death of police officers for electioneering purposes. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Greg Wagner said MEC Plato emphasized that while people are being killed in the province the National Minister of Police is playing politics and that is totally inappropriate.

Wagner added that the constitution entitles provinces to conduct oversight over the police, but every attempt is being made by the Western Cape government to improve policing in the province.

Ministerial Spokesperson Greg Wagner added that attempts to improve policing have been blocked, undermined and prevented by the ANC government.
