The community of Elsburg is done talking and wants action.<\/p>\n

Community members expressed their frustration to Faith Mazibuko, MEC of the Gauteng Department of Community Safety, at a meeting last Friday.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

One community member said the SAPS has failed them as a community and they need intervention from the MEC to assist them in fighting crime and drugs in the area.<\/p>\n

The community has held a number of meetings centered on the topics of crime and drugs and feels that the meetings are not producing results.<\/p>

\u201cWe have had a number of meetings with the police, but we see no action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police are also the problem because some of them are working with the criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe station commander has failed us as the community because we have these meetings and talk solutions and see no action from the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think she should be removed from the position because she is not serving the community,\u201d said a community member.<\/p>\n

Community members said the issues of drugs and crime have become a problem for them to the point that they don\u2019t feel safe anymore.<\/p>\n
