eNCAElectionBus: Port Elizabeth's child gangsters
During its travels, the eNCA election bus has gained some insight into how crime and in particular gangsterism are affecting communities. CourtesyJust when I thought we were going to have the most boring, uneventful day in Port Elizabeth, this eNCA Election Bus trip got very interesting.
Unlike Cape Town where young South Africans said they were not voting, in PE, students are certain they will vote they just don’t know who they’ll vote for yet. Can you believe they have to share a bathroom? Ten people - men and women- using one bathroom. Some have been waiting for a house which was promised to them decades ago - and they’ve lost all hope. They won’t be voting. Others are politically active at this home and are members of smaller political parties.
And then we headed to Helenvale where gangsterism has forced the closure of the only clinic in the area. Children playing barefoot amongst trash bags, have witnessed shootings and seen bodies. Children here are killers.
