Eastern Cape Finance MEC Mlungisi Mvoko has delivered the province’s Medium-Term Policy Statement involving over just R700 million. The policy statement was delivered in the provincial legislature in Bisho.
While the statement was wildly welcomed, opposition parties in the legislature believe Mvoko could have used the opportunity to address the high crime levels. but there is a plan in place to address crime-related issues. “While it is the competency of the South African Police Service to combat crime, the province has a responsibility to create safer communities. We will use this policy statement to place our focus on the implementation of the Integrated Violence and Crime Prevention Strategy, Anti-gang Strategy and Drug Master Plan. Through the Department of Community Safety, we will also strengthen our oversight role on police in the province,” says Mvoko.
“We feel as though the Budget failed to resolve the needs of the people of the Eastern Cape. As you would recall, the Eastern Cape faces a challenge of unemployment and high crime rate which scares the investors from coming and investing in the Eastern Cape,” says another MPL Simthembele Madikizela.
