Lack of communication and a poor working relationship between communities affecting policing in KZN.
A lack of communication and a poor working relationship between communities and the police is affecting policing in many areas of KwaZulu-Natal. That’s the assessment of government officials who held a multi-sectoral crime prevention and service delivery imbizo in Inchanga, in the outer west of the Durban metro.
Inchanga residents say they walk long distances to access the nearest police station. A mobile police station set up to assist the community is said to be lacking resources.One Inchanga resident says, “We have a lot of challenges as the youth of this area. Crime is one of the main ones. We have young people who do all sorts of things including dealing drugs. Unemployment is one of the huge problems here.
KZN Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube says, “Also, we are going to make sure that the mobile police station that was introduced a few years ago starts working. Because that mobile police has been here for two years but it hasn’t been working effectively we are hoping that immediately that mobile police station will start working and as a result of that we will see police visibility increasing and see crime coming down.
