City of Joburg concerned about the spate of killings
The City is calling on residents to work with law enforcement agencies to unmask and expose the perpetrators of these barbaric acts.
The City of Johannesburg is deeply concerned by the increasing spate of killings of children and young people in Johannesburg.
The executive mayor of the City of Johannesburg, councillor Geoffrey Makhubo, accompanied by the Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Health and Social Development, councillor Eunice Mgcina, MMC for Public Safety councillor Mally Mokoena and MMC for Economic Development councillor Lloyd Phillips visited the Kolotle family on Thursday in Ivory Park, Region A, to pay their respect and extend their condolences for the loss of their 12-year-old child who was killed in a gruesome manner.
Two weeks ago, a similar incident happened in Dobsonville wherein a girl was raped and killed and within a space of a week, this evil act happened again in Ivory Park and Orange Farm respectively.
The City is calling on residents to work with law enforcement agencies to unmask and expose the perpetrators of these barbaric acts.
Health and Social Development councillor Eunice Mgcina said there must be no stone left unturned in exposing these evil-doers. These heartless killers have no place in our society.
“We call on the criminal justice system to send a strong message against the perpetrators by imposing maximum sentences once they are arrested,” Mgcina said.
