The Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato said the police in the province do not have enough resources to ensure regular patrols on the N2. 

This follows several attacks on motorists on the N2 in the past few weeks.  MEC Plato serious interventions to curb these ambushes on the N2 need to be addressed. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald Botha said we will no longer tolerate a situation where provincial safety and security management reassures us that additional support has been provided and that the problem is under control, when the scenario on the ground remains unchanged.

Botha said he would write to provincial police commissioner Arno Lamoer to request an in-depth report on the on-going patrols along the N2 highway.
