In a statement issued the Western Cape ANC says it is saddened by the senseless loss of lives, with yet another gang-related shooting in Hanover Park yesterday.

ANC Media Liaison Yonela Diko says as the ANC, they refuse to accept that the community of Hanover Park must accept that gang-related shootings are part of their lives.

Diko says “The ANC provided a blueprint on combating crime when we were governing this City and Province through partnerships with communities through Bambanani programmes and through empowering street communities.”

He says “Hanover Park has rightfully demanded that the Provincial and City’s Safety structures must consult them when conducting their ‘piece meal’ programmes which are inconsequential without being driven in partnership with communities.”

“The ANC demands an urgent and clear strategy from the DA government to deal with this matter decisively.” He concluded
