Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato has called immediate action into the gang epidemic in the province.
In a statement MEC Plato said
Minister of Police Nkosinathi Nhleko has not made any decision on bringing back
the Specialised Drug and Gang Units, a month after he made a commitment that he
will consider it.
MEC Plato added that we should
be seeing a far more urgent approach to tackling the Cape gang epidemic.
Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald
Botha said Minister Nhleko publically announced to consider bringing back the Specialised
Drug and Gang Units a month ago and specifically to reinstate the units without
hesitation and there was a process stating him to share the details behind the
plans to train the units how to capacitate them, where and when they will be
deployed.
“People of the Western Cape
want to know why it has taken more than four years of campaigning and a loss of
countless lives before the national government has considered the introduction
of these much needed specialised units.” Botha concluded.
