Reported crime in the Muizenberg policing precinct appears to be approaching “exceeding levels.” | ThePeoplesPost
In 2022, Muizenberg Police Station lost “valuable” officers resulting in a shortage of staff.PHOTO: Natasha BezuidenhoutThis is according to Muizenberg Community Policing Forum chair Derick Muller who spoke at the CPF annual general meeting on Thursday 25 May.
“Many of these are gang-related and difficult to police as residents are reluctant to provide statements to police.” Muller added that while there were adequate police vehicles there were simply not enough officers, as one officer was murdered and police management had been on extended leave. Meanwhile, the murder of Capt Siphumeze Lusasa, “a core member of the Muizenberg management team”, left a “huge impact” on his colleagues.
“A most pressing issue, and one which is often commented on, is the response from the CSC members that ‘we can’t attend an incident due to lack of vehicles’. “This stood in the yard for some months until a decision was made, at the provincial level, as to how this asset is to be used. Before being deployed this vehicle is undergoing maintenance to ensure that it is roadworthy.Meanwhile, homelessness remains a concern that has been exasperated by the Covid-19 pandemic, says Muller.
