Madam Speaker, the ANC-led government, together with the people, is making every possible effort to decisively tackle the scourge of crime by drawing on resources and the capacity of all sectors of society.
A community safety plan was developed by the Gauteng Community Safety department and the Eldorado Park Community Policing Forum to ensure that residents living in the area felt safe. The plan was designed to ascertain and strengthen the strategic partnership between the community and the police. It aims to improve the delivery of services by law-enforcement agencies such as the school safety project, including the prevention of drug consumption at schools and the elimination of gangsterism.
The ANC calls upon all our people to mobilise themselves and participate in the fight to combat crime through establishing street committees and community courts, amongst other things. "Working together, we can do more". I thank you. [Applause.]
