Vice-chairperson of the West Village Community Forum, Andre Shannon, says the community has lost faith in the police. “The possibility of them getting the culprits between all the zama zamas is very small. They will have to do DNA tests on all the zama zamas but they don’t even bother about them. They don’t catch them but nobody trusts the police in any case and we have lost faith in the police,” Shanon explains.They were arrested last month in connection with the gang-rape of a group of women who were part of a production crew shooting a music video at an abandoned mine dump in West Village.
