Outgoing Western Cape MEC of Transport and
Public Works Robin Carlisle has called for massive and strong lockdown of
police in Vrygrond, Steenberg and Seawinds areas.
This
as the taxi violence has escalated claiming nine lives in just a few days. MEC Carlisle said the taxi violence is
certainly now being amplified by criminal gang and drug related activities
Ministerial Spokesperson Siphesihle Dube
said police should lockdown the area and secure it and make sure that all those
perpetrating these crimes are arrested.
“The
Western Cape government and Provincial Regulatory Entity has been engaging with the taxi associations
concerned for some months now in a bid to find a solution but now it has
found that there is an extra criminal, gang and drug related element to this on-going tension which must be
addressed steadfastly by SAPS “ added Dube
