Johannesburg - Acts of theft, vandalism, and robbery plague the Randfontein area. Residents say they have lost all hope in officials because nothing gets done after reporting these issues.
Simphiwe Nikelo, who lives in Mohlakeng, says he has exhausted all options of reporting the “terrorism of gangsters” in the area. He believes that resorting to the media would assist him in the community’s plea to dealing with the attacks. “I have directed the police to the area where these gangsters live, but they flee for days when they know the police are looking for them, and they are never found after that. They are then free to roam the streets and continue to commit the crime,” said Nikelo.
Kopano Kobuoe, who moved to the area two months ago, says his stay has been miserable because he has already been badly affected since then.
