Cape Town - Recent attacks on motorists on the N2 have left motorists who use the road regularly fearing for their lives. Helderberg Crime Watch is calling the road “Hell Run N2” on social media.

Kruger said It had become necessary to continually warn the community of Helderberg and road users to be vigilant. He believes patrolling the N2 would not help on its own as criminals leave when police patrol and then re-emerge. “Amongst the agenda items was a situation report by the Khayelitsha deputy cluster commander and a discussion around mediation as a tool to overcome civil unrest. In the short term, Mr Africa’s office has committed to arrange patrols with law enforcement, including the SAPS, metro police and private security to ensure 24/7 surveillance.

“We have previously seen the successful establishment of CSFs in the Overberg, namely in Grabouw, Hermanus and Botrivier. CSFs will ensure that appointees are trained as first responders and mediators to help defuse potential unrest and protests,” said Fritz. Mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith said criminals operating on the N2 were not being apprehended.
