High ranking members of the police, including Gauteng MEC for Community Safety Faith Mazibuko, were also in the area.<\/p>\n

The ward councillor, Abraham Mabuke, said residents were “sick and tired” of Cele’s empty promises to deal with crime in the area.<\/p>\n

According to residents, there had been a series of murders in recent times and the local police station was not doing anything about it.<\/p>\n

An agitated mob greeted News24 in front of the police station, with residents marching down the street, singing struggle songs.<\/p>\n

Cele was expected to address the community after engaging with the police leadership.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story.<\/b><\/p>\n
