Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato has called for a whole of society approach to deal with gangs and drugs in the province.
MEC Plato in a statement said organised
crime is no longer just affecting our youth as our youth are no so deeply
involved.
Statistics revealed that the province
accounted for more than 40% of the national drug related crime over the last
six years, despite it decreasing to 33% in 2014.
Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald Botha said
the department of community safety has varies plans and projects in place such
as our partnerships with our FET colleges, religious fraternity, policing
forums, neighbourhood watches and municipalities.
Botha said the Western Cape gang and drug
problem is everyone’s responsibility to address it effectively.
