KZN Community Safety MEC must go as no one is safe in our province
24 April 2023
The DA in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) calls for the removal of Community Safety and Liaison MEC, Sipho Hlomuka, following a bloody three days in the province which saw 17 people shot dead in less than 24 hours in five separate incidents.
The killings include the deaths of 10 family members and a child who was fatally shot while walking to school on a public road.
Crime continues unabated in KZN. It has become a war zone. People are dying every day and no one is safe, yet nothing changes.
Last week, during her Budget address, Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube promised KZN’s citizens that government would not surrender to criminals. She also announced that more than R130million had been allocated to crime-fighting.
