“We will not allow a situation whereby citizens live in fear,” said Premier Dube-Ncube.
She urged community members to work in conjunction with the police and report cases or come forward with information that may assist them.
“Government, business, civil society, including CPFs, need to work together to address criminal activities and instability to ensure a safe society and thriving economy.
“We will never win the war against crime if community members continue to protect criminals.”
