CAPE TOWN - Tempers flared during a town hall meeting on crime hosted by Power to Truth in Hanover Park on Tuesday night.
Angry residents told police and authorities to stop the blame game and find long-lasting solutions.
They say there are not enough police, and those that are there are corrupt.
Gang-related incidents continue to torment communities and many have blamed police for not doing enough.
But Police Minister Bheki Cele says police are putting in lots of effort.
