‘Enough is enough’ was the message sent out to gangsters and criminals by the law abiding citizens of Bethelsdorp as they marched through the hot spot streets in Timothy Valley on9 September 2017.
The procession was joined by the sub sector patrollers, businessmen, owners of spaza shops, taxi owners and residents in the area.
The purpose of the march was to send out a clear message to gangsters in the area that the killing of innocent people, the robbing of commuters while in taxis and the demand for protection fees from businesses must stop.
The march was a legal one and was monitored by SAPS. The Station Commander of Bethelsdorp, Brig Zolani Xawuka has urged the communities to work with the police and to report criminals that are instilling fear to the innocent people. He further appealed to them not to ‘take the law into their own hands’ but instead report the perpetrators and let them be dealt with through the justice system.
