The Western Cape Department of
Education today said policing falls under national government and not
provincial.
This as the department has been
accused of not doing enough to protect learners at Manenberg schools where gang
violence has been on the increase.
Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh
Casey said the WCED cannot or any other provincial education departments assume
the role of police in protecting communities from gangsterism.
Casey said the department is very
much concerned about the safety of teachers and learners at school. But the
department depends on the security services for safety and security.
