angsterism has its own economy and its chief resource is vulnerable youth. This was the underlying message at two different events last week.
The first was the draft Mitchell’s Plain Safety and Development Plan dialogue at Mitchell’s Plain police station on Wednesday 23 July. The meeting was the third of a series called by MEC for Police Oversight and Community Safety, Anroux Marais, in response to the recent
spate of gang violence in the area in which seven people were killed and 17 others wounded in dozens of shootings. At the meeting, Mitchell’s Plain station commander, Brig Brian Muller, said there had been 11 consecutive days without any serious crimes in the precinct.
