Bush Radio News spoke to one of the organisers, Byron De Villiers, regarding Sunday’s carcade and he says more are on the cards.

''We are fighting against gang violence, gun violence and drug abuse. We are wanting to tell youth that there is more to life than gangsterism. We will try and bring about change to Mitchell's plain. We are embarking a motorcade on Sunday's which will culminate into a youth event, but more details closer to the time. Save Mitchell's Plain is there to bring about safety in the community and hoping to bring the perpetrators to book.''
