‘’We call on the authorities to leave no stones unturned to
find the alleged perpetrators. We are further calling on the South African
Police Services to activate its 72-hour plan in finding the alleged
perpetrators,’’ said Abie Isaacs, Chairperson of the Cape Flats Safety Forum.
‘’We noted that SAPS stemmed the authority of state to deal
with alleged extortionist. We hope the same oomph and vigour be displayed in
finding the culprits that has brutally murdered a senior citizen,’’ he added.
