Mchunu unveils crime-fighting strategy
CAPE TOWN - Police Minister Senzo Mchunu is hitting back hard against crime.
He's assured South Africans he's spearheading amplified initiatives to crush criminal activity.
Mchunu says the strategy is aimed at protecting the vulnerable, rooting out criminality, and rebuilding the public's trust.
Stressing the urgency of the police mission, the minister highlighted the devastating impact of gang warfare in Cape Town, saying the metro's recent four waves of gang violence have claimed eighteen lives.
The budget allocates R219.2-million to police the G20 conference later this year, R400-million for next year's Local Government Elections, and nearly R35-million to support the appointment of an additional Deputy Police Minister.
