Western Cape Community Safety Minister, Dan Plato,
has urged communities to work closely with police to neutralise gang activities
after five people were killed in Bonteheuwel on the Cape Flats, Cape Town.
Plato was reacting to an outcry by community
members about the spike of gang related violence.
Community leader, Faldielah Haupt, says residents
live in daily fear for their lives.
Community members say gangs roam freely in the
area. Five people were shot in suspected gang-related shootings last week and
two of them died.
However Plato has urged communities to work with
the police and provide the necessary information.
