In July, hundreds of citizens in a suburb in Port Elizabeth shut down their neighbourhood to express anger at the lack of a police presence in the area and demanded a new police station. There will be more such protests. Perhaps the most striking example of our overwhelmed police force’s inability to keep us safe and maintain public order is Cape Town, where the army stepped in to quell gang violence in the impoverished parts of the city where more than 900 people had been killed as of July 2019.
Police minister Bheki Cele told reporters he has noticed a disturbing trend in which more people are getting into organised crime, which can only flourish with the help of high-level police officers on the payroll of criminal enterprises.
