Mayoral Committee Member for Safety
and Security JP Smith said there has been a major improvement in the number of
drug related arrests.
Drugs in Cape Town is a growing
industry with the City stating that more law enforcement officials have been
hired to help combat the problem.
Smith said the city has been able to
improve enforcement around drug dealing through improved intelligence driven
policing over the last year and specifically in investment in the better
training for our staff and the development of relationships with communities in
terms of receiving tip-offs and paying informants.
“Over the last five months we have
achieved 1 053 drug related arrests which 600 are gang-related” Smith added.
