Rustenburg residents march against social ills

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Residents of Rustenburg in the North West have called on police to immediately deal with drug abuse, human trafficking and the existence of brothels in the area.

They marched on the CBD on Friday.

Rustenburg is growing rapidly due to platinum mining operations.

Residents says what is happening in the town is scaring off investors.

“It seems like it’s normal, like nobody is taking action against them, but at least today, as the community we are standing up and fighting for all our children. It is estimated that at least 60 percent of the people in Rustenburg use drugs.”
