Media Statement CAPE TOWN – With a week since additional deployments have descended on some parts of the Cape Flats in a bid to reduce murders, attempted murders and other serious and violent crime, our forces are still hard at work executing focussed operations and interventions. While it is still early days, the integrated efforts are aimed at turning the tide against crime afflicting local communities. A decision was taken by Western Cape SAPS management to bolster deployments in areas such as Elsies River, Mitchell’s Plain, Steenberg, Nyanga, Gugulethu, Muizenberg, Philippi, Ravensmead and Kraaifontein. Working together with law enforcement agencies such as the City of Cape Town’s Metro police, LEAP officials and scores of community volunteers, it is envisaged that calm will be restored and the perpetrators of serious and violent crime are brought to book. Together with others in law enforcement, we remain committed to create safer communities for all inhabitants in the province. Our primary focus will continue to be removing firearms from the streets that are used in the commission of serious and violent crime. We make an appeal to the public to report crime to Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or by using mobile application MySAPS App to share information anonymously. Ends
