Community leaders in Gugulethu on the Cape Flats say they will continue to try and find solutions to the crime scourge in the area. This is despite a notable lack of interest during a call for a community peace march against crime.
Only civic society and religious leaders came out for the peace march that was supposed to end at the local police station. Gugulethu has been hit by a problem of mass shootings in recent months, mainly attributed to extortion and gang activity.
Leaders say they were also surprised by the lack of interest, attributing it to the festive period.
