Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato on Wednesday conducted a walkabout in Tafelsig and
MEC Plato said residents in
Mitchell’s Plain described the shootings that have taken place in the past few
weeks as a war zone.
Residents are also calling for the immediate deployment of the army.
Plato said the walkabout was to
raise awareness but also to say to the people they must continue to have faith
in the police. Residents say the
reaction time of police to incidents is very poor.
“So at the end of the day we will
convey their request about the deployment of the army to the Provincial Police
Commissioner Arno Lamoer and to the National Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa”
Plato added.
