Ntuli said KZN, like other provinces, has violent crime, economic offences, gender-based violence – a scourge of criminality that threatens the cornerstone of existence for families, businesses, and residents’ peace of mind. Ntuli outlined the objectives of the provincial CAC and how it will be structured to improve the effectiveness of its programmes.
“Unfortunately, one woman lost her life when the criminals shot at a minibus taxi which was caught in the ensuing chaos. We want to thank the police, under the capable leadership of Lt-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who are making solid leads in cracking the heist case,” Ntuli said.Ntuli said this was just one example that shows that the criminals are becoming more daring as the day progresses.
