Mr. Minister, you should address these issues with the Film industry as well. SABC is broadcasting violent programs while the industry is making millions and all you can do is talk to parents. Please stop passing the bug and deal with the root course.

The solution :
A few years ago, a new law was published with great fanfare which makes it illegal to belong to a criminal gang.
The difficulty is to obtain a conviction, which can take many years because of our clogged up justice system.
The answer is to bring back the specialised gang units, and institute specialised gang courts, in order to deal speedily and effectively with such cases. The SAPS people who specialise in gangs know where the gangs hide out, who the members are, etc, and it should be possible for them to obtain evidence necessary for convictions under the act.
Then we need prisons further away from the cities so that these gangs cannot continue with thheir activities while lin prison. Build a " gang priosn " in the middle of the Karoo and let them go and do their time there. Report Abuse

Some lady made a call for soldiers to be deployed in that area and as usual, our government is waiting for the deaths of 50 more innocent children before they can declare that part of the W/Cape a disaster-area.
