Cape Towns ongoing cycle of gang violence has again placed children in the crosshairs, prompting civil rights organisations and political leaders to call for urgent government intervention.
The head of Action Societys Western Cape branch, Kaylynn Palm, said the government needs to do more.
Cape Towns children are living in a war zone while the government remains paralysed. We need specialised localised policing with real resources and real accountability. Our communities cannot survive a system that is distant, centralised and failing at every basic level, she said.
