Mchunu was delivering his department’s budget in the National Assembly on Friday, saying that additional resources were needed to address violent crime in the four provinces.
Mchunu said that a total of 225 hotspots have been identified, demanding targeted and intelligence-led interventions.
“The recent random four waves of gang violence in Cape Town [from the 22nd of June up to 4 July]), resulting in a total of 18 murders, is a source of grave concern for the ministry. It is clear that identified high crime zones in all four provinces require intelligence-led targeted deployment of specialised units to combat criminality, over and above Operation Shanela.”
