He urged the officers to get rid of guns in the communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of guns out there. People are carrying guns in public. We need a campaign where the officers will clean everything. The officers need to confiscate all those guns,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nyanga CPF Dumisani Qwebe said crime is getting out of hand in the area. He reiterated Bambiso\u2019s sentiments that taxi related violence and extortion played a major role in the escalating of numbers. \u201cBrowns Farm is one of the dangerous areas in the precinct. But, we are trying to intervene even though the taxi related wars and extortion have a major impact. We are calling the community not to give up,\u201d said Qwebe, adding that they are going back to the drawing board again to strategise against the criminals.
