Acting Police Minister’s delay on Cape Flats safety plan

October 14, 2025

|

The Mercury

THE DA calls on Acting Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia and the South African Police Service (SAPS) leadership to immediately provide a clear, funded timeline for implementing the promised Cape Flats safety plan.

- LISA SCHICKERLING | DA Spokesperson on Police

This comes after a four-year-old boy died after being wounded in a gang shooting earlier this week.

According to reports, this marks the fourth shooting of a child in less than a week across three different communities. Parents, children, and innocent civilians are dying while the machinery of policing appears paralysed by delay and neglect.
