Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Hundreds of concerned young people gathered at the Soshanguve Giant Stadium to march on the local police station.<\/p>\n

Some taxi associations have joined the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL)\u2019s march against the violent crime in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria.<\/p>\n

Last month, popular deejay and musician Peter Mashata was shot and killed in the township after returning from a gig.<\/p>\n

Just a week ago, five-year-old Ditebogo Junior Phalane was gunned down at his home while his father was being highjacked. Hundreds of concerned young people gathered at the Soshanguve Giant Stadium for a march to the local police station.<\/p>\n

Frustrated community members, taxi drivers and religious leaders are demonstrating against what they\u2019ve described as ruthless criminals who\u2019ve infiltrated Soshanguve.Local chaplain Yolanda Mabusela said gunshots had become a common sound in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIssues of crime in Soshanguve are really at a high peak, that\u2019s the reason we are here as a church to support these young people. We have to join hands and march to the police station.\u201d<\/p>\n

A local taxi driver, Max Masuele, said he was equally affected by crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy passengers are sometimes affected by crime, sometimes we get a lot of complaints. There are hijackings and robbers day and night.\u201d The ANC Youth League says police minister Bheki Cele is set to receive their memorandum of demands later on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
