The community of Westbury in Johannesburg say they do not believe that a temporary deployment of additional police to the area, will curb the ongoing gang-related violence.

will be deployed to Westbury for the next three months, in an attempt to combat gang violence and the recent increase in crime.

Just two weeks ago, six separate shooting incidents claimed the lives of two people and left 11 others injured. “ The challenge that we have is that it must not be for a short space of time. For example, now this is for three months and it has been happening here for many years now and we don’t have more police visibility in the community. So, my question is, this is a good initiative but what happens after three months.
