The DA leader in Nyanga, Ntombi Hlaphezulu, says the DA-controlled Cape Town council has had a positive effect on crime in her community.Residents in Nyanga hope their votes in the 2021 municipal elections will win the fight against crime in the Cape Town township.
Nyanga community policing forum chair Martin Makasi wore two hats on Monday, as crime fighter and ANC activist. He spent the day transporting elderly people to the Assembly of God Church where they cast their votes. “It’s only then that we will get service delivery in this part of Cape Town. The DA administration means that our people who live in Nyanga, Philippi, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha don’t receive government services.
Makasi complained that housing projects had a similar fate. “For instance, houses were built in Freedom Square but it took forever for electricity to be connected, as well as sanitation,” he said. “Close to this polling station there is an area called Mpetha Square. This is the eighth year since the housing projected started but those houses are yet to be completed.
