Crackdown in Tshwane - With Community Safety MMC Grandi Theunissen

Loading player...
After an illegal - and costly - strike of almost four months, Tshwane is pulling back from the brink of collapse to get back looted money and crack down on lawlessness. The MMC for Community Safety Grandi Theunissen of the Freedom Front details the steps being taken to return stability and safety to South Africa’s capital city.  Those include the appointment of highly experienced chiefs of Police and Emergency Services; a crack-down on illegal liquor traders and spaza shops; as well as plans to establish an Illegal Electricity and Water Connection Unit, a multi-functional By-Law Enforcement Centre, and a Community Safety Directorate. He also reveals how 33 cases of fraudulent activity contributed to the City being in such deep financial distress - and describes the fight to bring those people responsible to book - and recover the money. - Chris Steyn
