I’ve been biting my tongue on this but here we go 🫣.
As a KZN resident there are lots of areas where people have rightly given up on SAPS and politicians as they get nothing done.
In the case of residential theft, bike parks, UIPs, even some high profile murders - specialist private security firms have been used to great effect.
Cases are solved, perpetrators arrested (rumours about a few repeat murderers “disappearing” with rural community involvement) and there do not seem to be many similar patently ridiculous situations like there is at the area in this thread.
The quickest way to solve it short term (long term, the challenges that Cape Town will face with massive population influx are just starting I fear), is to get a business to sponsor or all of you affected riders to pay for a private security firm, with guns, to stand off at this area and hopefully catch (or worse…) a few of these bastards.
You cannot, with respect, wait for a politician who is on holiday, or ANOTHER petition, or a protest ride to achieve something NOW.
Don’t take it personally but even Cape Town is still Africa and you will see that the vast majority of successful suburbs, business communities and small towns in the great wasteland outside of the Western Cape, have done things themselves.
Someone will get killed this holiday in that area if people don’t come together and fix the problem (hopefully short term), themselves.
