Port Elizabeth - No military will be deployed in the Eastern Cape in Nelson Mandela Bay, Premier Oscar Mabuyane said on Tuesday.
"There can't be peace and security in a place where our people have to run away from guns. We are declaring war on gangsterism, crime and drugs. We are going to remove any stumbling block against the people and our government, especially crime. I was concerned to see young people loitering instead of being at school,", said Mabuyane.
In the last two months, gang warfare saw the closure of several other schools in the city's northern areas after a spate of killings.
