City of Cape Town spends R17m on CCTV, none for Khayelitsha CapeTimesSA
Cape Times - Khayelitsha will not get a single CCTV camera from the 44 the DA-led City of Cape Town will install by the end of June, at a cost of R17 million.
In response to the commission’s report released in 2014, then national police commissioner General Riah Phiyega identified a “serious challenge” with the City’s failure to install CCTV cameras in high-crime spots such as Khayelitsha. “Are the buses a priority of the City of Cape Town? This clearly indicates the attitude and the focus in this regard.”
“Safety and security is a big ask in Cape Town, and while the directorate tries to meet as many needs as possible, the reality is that the ward allocation funding helps to accelerate delivery in very meaningful ways.
