The South African National Civic Organisation in the Western Cape has called for the removal of Police Minister Bheki Cele and Western Cape Safety and Security MEC Albert Fritz over what they call a"failure to implement working solutions" in the face of the high murder rate in the province.
The organisation claims that the deployment of the SANDF was"bad advice as a quick fix solution to the Western Cape province [and] has had no meaningful impact or improvement to [the] safety and security of our communities". "Minister Cele and MEC Fritz have failed to do their jobs and must face the axe. We need political leadership that efficiently, diligently and with accountability carries out their duties.
On Monday, Premier Alan Winde revealed that a total of 47 people had died over the past weekend - the bloodiest since the deployment of soldiers.
