Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan
Plato has condemned the recent incidents of vigilante killings in Philipi.
A body was discovered necklaced on Monday
at the Marikana squatter camp and last week a 16-year-old boy died after he was
stoned to death and set alight.
In a statement MEC Plato said vigilantism
will not be tolerated.
Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald Botha said people
in the province should know that vigilantism is a crime and won’t be tolerated
by law enforcement agencies.
Botha added that Mr Plato calls on all community
member, various non governmental organisations across the province as well as
public servants working in our communities regardless of department we as the
government make it our duty to alert everyone about this before it escalates to
serious crimes.
