Manenberg residents march over the increase in crime, Cape Town

Peace March - More than 200 Manenberg residents marched to the Manenberg police station yesterday to protest against crime and violence in the community. High school students, teachers and members of the ANC and Civic Association were involved in the march to hand a memorandum to station commander Major Dan Cupido. "There is a definite crime problem particularly in schools where there is an upsurge in gangsterism," said Mr David Africa, the co-ordinator of the Manenberg Peace Committee which organised the march.
