Empower capable municipalities to ensure safer communities
For far too long, the Western Cape has been held hostage by the scourge of crime and gang violence.
Gang shootings, children caught in the crossfire, small businesses extorted into financial ruin, are a routine experience for too many.
In the past year, 302 children have been murdered. 882 lives lost to gang violence.
The Western Cape Government and many of its municipalities have been fighting for safer communities, innovating where we govern and supporting SAPS within the legislative framework. However, they are constrained to bring about real justice.
Therefore, we invite you to join us in calling on the Police and Justice and Constitutional Development Ministers to request the following amendments to two Acts, to improve the delivery of policing services, and contribute to the reduction of crime:
1. SAPS ACT – Requiring the addition of two words
- Request: Amend section 64E (c) “the prevention and investigation of crime”.
2. Criminal Procedures Act – “Replace one schedule”
- The proclamation made on 19 October 2018 by the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, in terms of Section 334 of the Criminal Procedure Act, in the Government Gazette41982, Government Notice 1114 refers.
- Request: Replace Schedule in Government Notice 1114, by expanding powers of municipal peace officers to respond to a wider variety of crimes.
