Ntshweza identified Unathi, Boystown, Phase 1, Philippi Plazza and the corner of New Eisleben and Govan Mbeki roads as some of the hotspots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He urged the community to be vigilant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want to forge a strong unity with the police. We believe that if we can work with them, we can minimise crime in the area. Let\u2019s reclaim our streets from the criminals,\u201d said Ntshweza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, people who commit crimes are between the ages of 15 and 23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crossroads CPF chair Sithembele Nonkelele said they hope to create an environment that is conducive to the well-being of everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said they plan to conduct programmes to create awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe main purpose of the meeting was to engage as stakeholders to take a firm stance that crime cannot be a norm. We need to have street Imbizo where we are creating awareness and engaging young people,\u201d said Nonkelele. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
