Deployment of police force does nothing to cease killing in Mamelodi

A provincial police task team has ben stationed in Mamelodi to investigate gang-related murders for six weeks and no arrests have been made.

There's been a spate of killings and attempted murders of people suspected of being part of a local gang.

In September, Gauteng police commissioner Elias Mawela assigned a task team of crime intelligence and organised crime units. This was after the first incident in which two men were shot dead in August.

However since the deployment, more people have been murdered, with the latest shooting happening on 10 October.
