The situation is further exacerbated by illegal immigration, which has reached crisis proportions due to corruption and government ineptitude.
The PCC and other civil society organisations are demanding accountability and justice, calling for the arrest and prosecution of corrupt police officers, government officials, magistrates, and judges.
The PCC believes that it is time for South Africans to stand together against corruption and lawlessness.
The candlelight vigil is a call to action, urging communities to demand truth, justice, and accountability from those in power.
