CAPE TOWN - Collaborative efforts are required to address violent crime in the Western Cape.
That's according to the Patriotic Alliance leader, Gayton McKenzie.
He was speaking to JJ Tabane on Power to Truth during the Hanover Park town hall debate.
"We're dealing with a problem that needs the police, the parents, and the government. They get R4-billion a year, what do they do with that money and they pay those stipends?
"Our people are dying and if you lock these people up, you lock the gangsters up and they have access to phones," he said.
"Minister, my advice to you is, whoever you arrest mustn't have contact with the outside world because they're giving instructions that the witnesses must be killed in the province, that's why people don't speak."
