Elsies River activist calls for crime prevention after City reports smash-and-grab drop
An Elsies River activist is calling for closer cooperation between the City of Cape Town and neighbourhood watches to prevent smash-and-grab attacks. His appeal follows Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis’s claim that incidents along a targeted section of Van Riebeeck Road had fallen from 96 to zero, a figure the City says does not apply to the whole of Elsies River.
