– Bigger Picture: Justice System Under Fire
This shocking attack highlights once more how crime continues to spiral out of control on the Cape Flats. Many residents believe that a failing justice system is fuelling the crisis. Criminals spend a short time in jail, often enjoying better conditions inside than outside, before being released back onto the streets.
For Hanover Park families, the reality is heartbreaking: children are caught in the crossfire while justice seems slow and ineffective. Until accountability improves, the cycle of violence, fear and silence will continue.-
