Police Minister Bheki Cele has promised increased resources to the community of Brown’s Farm on the Cape Flats which falls in the Nyanga policing area.
Cele says they need to change the statistics of Nyanga – which for the past few years has been identified as the murder capital of the country.
He visited Brown’s Farm following Tuesday’s shooting of four people including two children. “We have taken a decision that Cape Town, that both the Cape Flats townships, we will make sure that we reverse the situation of crime. We will be here working harder, but we want to make the lives of criminals very much uncomfortable, the space is too small, it cannot be shared between criminals and communities. We will work hard to make sure that the people of Cape Town and the Cape Flats will feel that there is a bit of a difference.”
