Residents questioned Cele’s visit shortly ahead of municipal elections.

Scepticism ruled about Minister of Police Bheki Cele’s plan to fight the crime in Skierlik informal settlements in Mamelodi East with the opening of a mobile police station on Wednesday. “There are too many robberies and people killed here,” said Arab Abraham, whose family owned 30 spaza shops in the area, including in Skierlik. Last month, one of his shops was robbed three times, leaving one customer dead. “When we phone the police it takes them four hours to respond,” he said.

“There are too many robberies and people killed here,” said Arab Abraham, whose family owned 30 spaza shops in the area, including in Skierlik.“When we phone the police it takes them four hours to respond,” he said. “We are scared to live here, I have children, and every day it’s just guns and young girls are raped here. Don’t even get me started about the gender-based violence in the area,” he said.

At the Street Izimbizo launching the mobile station yesterday, community leaders voiced their concerns to Cele.

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to leticia_thomas1 on Twitter she guides me through and i made a return of R15500 after a week of trading, connect with her I always see how people keep talking about lisamiaBTC on Twitter so I decided to give it a try and it worked out perfectly for me also, she knows in and out of cryptocurrency....contact her for more details about Bitcoin investment, nobody handles business like she do. I'm amazed that at this day and age, there are people who still fall for such tricks which were used around the city of Durban in the 80s and possibly earlier.
