Manenberg Police set to fight off gangsterism
Lieutenant Ian Bennett - From the Manenberg Police Station joined us Instudio to tell us more about
their new strategy in discouraging young people from joining gangs. This
follows the high prevalence of gang violence in Manenberg and failed attempts
and efforts by SAPS in curbing the scourge amongst school learners. Last month Manenberg Station Commander - Brigadier André van Dyk briefed the
media about adopting a new strategy in curbing young people from joining gangs
by informing them of the legal implications of Section 9 of the Organised Crime
Act. He explained that under this Act an offense which is considered minor
might cost you 8 years in jail if you a member of a gang and therefore will be
taking this message across all 26 schools in their policing precinct. For more information contact the
Manenberg Police Station on (021) 699 9400.
