Deputy Speaker, my follow-up question to the Deputy Minister is that, as far as I can remember, the provincial MEC doesn't quite have the constitutional power to direct mainly what the police should do in the province. That remains a national competency.
The second thing I want to say is that there is killing of children in the Western Cape. The senseless killing of bystanders is a serious matter that requires serious attention. Do you think Crime Intelligence has the capacity to deal with this? On the issue of community involvement, we have not seen it happening as you speak today. I asked the police about this yesterday. They have spoken about the issue of the mobilisation of the community so that it can play a role in the fight against gangsterism. The question is: Are you satisfied with what you have seen and with what more is going to be done to save the lives of the children in the Western Cape?

[The DEPUTY MINISTER OF POLICE: Hon Ramatlakane, you used to be an MEC in this province and you know exactly what you are talking about. When the President met with the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans as well as the Minister of Police a few days ago, he invited suggestions and outlined what would be done in order to fight crime in the Western Cape Province. I would also like to repeat that your role as community members in the Western Cape is very important. Nonetheless, I promise you that we will strengthen the police so that they will be able to fight crime in your province. Thank you.]
