The Primrose SAPS’ acting station commander, Lt Col Mbazima Maswanganyi, requested that community members came forward with information about crime and criminal activities within the informal settlement.
“We know it is difficult but we also know that you know who the criminals are and we, therefore, need your help in identifying them,” she said.
“It is our job to fight crime but we cannot do it alone, we need everyone to do their part.”
