Between April to June 2020, City of Cape Town CCTV cameras recorded 2,611 incidents, according to data presented to the safety and security committee on Wednesday.These arrests related to crimes including murder, possession of stolen property, theft, breaking and entering, and assault.
A total of 958 of the crimes recorded by the CCTV cameras included drinking in public, theft of vehicles, shootings and cable theft. “SAPS doesn’t bother to gather evidence, which is why criminals continue to torture and torment citizens. On average, they’re [detectives] sitting with 200 to 300 dockets. Only 20 of those cases will be worked on,” said Smith., councillors also raised concerns with the committee about detectives claiming they had tried to obtain CCTV footage when, in fact, they hadn’t. At Wednesday’s meeting, Schuller said this was still the case. Other times, detectives didn’t bother to follow up.
