Dan Plato, Western Cape MEC of Community Safety, will host an open-air safety talk in Stellenbosch following a spate of violent hijackings in the area.
On Thursday last week MEC Plato expressed his concern at the lack of arrests following a number of hijackings in Stellenbosch, at least one of which involved a gang rape. Following the number of hijackings and reports of another incident involving a stabbing, MEC Plato has called for urgent safety talks with all role-players, including students.
MEC Plato and the safety delegation will do a walk-about to view the areas in which the incidents took place as well as the surrounding area.
All media are invited to attend.
