Yesterday our kids saw the Boks, our kids can be in the Boks tomorrow —there was a Siya Kolisi, there might be a Siya Kolisi in Uitsig, in Clarkes Estate,” said Charmaine Barnes, a resident of Uitsig. On Tuesday, Western Cape premier Alan Winde hosted an information session on his Safety Plan in Elsies River, where Barnes questioned what was being done to keep children off the streets and taking part in sport and cultural activities.
About 70 people, comprised mainly of neighbourhood watch members, community workers and the local community policing forum, listened as most of the emphasis of the meeting was on keeping children safe and away from gangsterism, crime and drugs. Residents want Alan Winde and his Cabinet to focus on keeping young people away from gangsterism in Elsies River. There are no activities, no sports, no after-school,” said Barnes, who wanted to know what was to be done to keep the children out of harm’s way from drugs and crime — with good reason.
During the 2018/2019 crime statistics reporting period, there were 90 murders reported at the Elsies River police station. Additionally, Elsies River is one of 10 areas where the South African National Defence Force is deployed, due to the area’s high rate of crime and gangsterism. But on Tuesday, most of the points raised by residents were on what the premier and his team could do to keep the streets of Elsies River safe for children.
