Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan
Plato condemns the recent killings near the Heideveld train station.
It is alleged that two men
were doused with petrol and then set alight after robbing someone of their
cellphone.
Minister Plato calls on the
community to help the authorities identify the perpetrators.
Spokesperson for Minister
Plato, Ewald Botha said no matter what the circumstances or allegations, we
cannot allow our communities to take the law into their own hands.
Botha added that all criminal activities should
be reported to the SAPS.
“Where the community feel they
do not get the necessary safety service delivery, they should make contact with
the Neighbourhood Watch or Community Forum for escalation, the office of the
Western Cape Provincial Police Ombudsman or the Department of Community Safety
by lodging a complaint at 021 483 4332 or via email at
safer@westerncape.gov.za.” Botha concluded.
