DEPUTY President Paul Mashatile vowed to engage with the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NatJoints) to explore tapping into the City of Cape Town's intelligence capability to strengthen the fight against gang violence.

Mashatile said: “If the Western Cape or the City of Cape Town has got the capability to work with NatJoints, I am sure they won't chase you away. I will engage with them because surely that resource is needed, but of course, you know, there are protocols.”

Mashatile was responding during a question and answer session in the National Council of Provinces on Tuesday.
