Lesufi speaks on crime in Gauteng

Crime in Gauteng is becoming increasingly rampant. Communities in Soshanguve and surrounding areas in Pretoria are living in fear after a 5-year-old child was shot and killed during a hijacking incident at the weekend. Road spiking incidents are also rising at an alarming rate. Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has vowed to fight the scourge. However, Lesufi says the situation could have been worse if there were no crime prevention wardens.

Forget!!! this people cannot Govern a country.

[@johnledwaba8551]

I agree with you, look at their track record, it's shocking

[@nomalungelongcete5875]

Comrades and officials are living comfortably. The only thing they do is to talk talk talk 😢 Poor people live in fear😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@ManaMnisi]

Yooooo I'm worried about Panyaza because he says Panyaza project is permanent now he forget about them they are looking for votes only

[@ManaMnisi]

But isono ngama crime prevention till to day abaka signi hhayi

[@ManaMnisi]

But till to day they still waiting for permanent

[@ManaMnisi]

Hayi ANC ayina qiniso I thought you are better than abanye but yoooo naku GDE wayenza kanje you didn't create permanent job you created contract project

[@babalwandamase9509]

We live in fear everywhere at home ,roads ,in cars and public transport its scary to raise a child in SA .ANC has failed us

[@hgfku-tn6hb]

Lesufi and his comrades are not listening. Arresting criminals and spending taxpayers money putting cameras won't stop crime. You rather adjust justice system

[@mthokozisilanga4497]

…not only that but deal with the socio-economic conditions. Our justice system is a joke, you sentence someone for 6yrs and they are out in 3. We need to have a clear sentence, i.e. the magistrate or the judge must give a clear sentence. We need to have two methods of sentencing. One with eligibility to parole, eg 6yrs with eligibility of parole after 4yrs and a sentence that is not eligible to parole eg 30 yrs without eligibility to parole, a life sentence with alegibility to parole after 25yrs and a life sentence without eligibity to parole. It can’t be a given that when ypu are sentence 30yrs, 2yrs or life you will not finish your sentence.

[@nomalungelongcete5875]

They talk talk but nothing happens 😢

[@OnlyRandi]

Exactly they don't listen full of pride not admitting when they require assistance ai.

[@ToxxicMafia]

people who have jobs tend to not do crime, they'd rather spend time chasing girls or at the Chisanyama. Hungry people will always turn to crime

[@OnlyRandi]

@ToxxicMafia oh really? I wonder how did they term blue collar crime and white collar crimes? But I fully hear you are correct.

[@BrightKhosa]

[@dineshanpillay5944]

[@kamogelomadia6272]

Honest truth

[@dineshanpillay5944]

I miss the days of mashaba, remember when he added 1000 new metro cops, imagine how much police would've been added if anc looters weren't in power

[@dineshanpillay5944]

@OtlotlengBogopa-ly3lf yes thank you💚💚💚

[@BuhleMpakama]

That was work that was already started by the ANC, he just finished a process that was already in motion. A lot of work goes into such things, you don't just wake up and employ a 1000 people

[@dineshanpillay5944]

@BuhleMpakama it was over 3 years, idea came in 2016, then finally implemented mid 2019 by mashaba, he stopped our outsourcing of outsurence at road ways which was costing us millions, he stopped it and put metro cops there, but now they back, he also took back hijacked buildings which you anc fools allowed to get taken and called him a xenophobic character, also then the marshal town fire and n1 happened, anc hasn't done anything, even if they put those cops as your baseless claim says, why haven't they implemented more??? Cause they looting, we not blind like you

[@dineshanpillay5944]

@@BuhleMpakama shut up with you baseless claims

[@BuhleMpakama]

​@@dineshanpillay5944no need to be emotional chap. The ANC is not running joburg and ekurhuleni, coalitions are busy messing up but you are still blaming the ANC? Like really? The recent fire happened on the 100th mayor who was covered by Lesufi when they did media briefings. You need to relax

[@dailyshowtelevisiondstv5585]

Imagine saying crime has increased in gauteng when it was already high, welcome to murder capital 😢

[@stabelepiet5530]

Yeah lesufi you are really south-african not like ather Anc members who sitting folding their arms while south-african dying in a hands of foreigners please we support you are a good leader thanks for your statement

[@tebogooliphant5651]

Panyaza has a vision as the Premier he just needs support from all departments nationally especially when it comes to crime

[@velimasuku8808]

Just a whole lot of chatting while the murder rate is sky high. 30k annual murders loading. Top 5 murder rate per capita globally

[@Bluecollarjoe6B9]

These aren’t fools sir. These are professionals insurgents with vast networks, resources and digital assets.

[@jabulanithema1467]

most are not professionals. professionals will not kill anyone (e.g. child) who is not a threat to them.

[@BoniswaGenge]

Most areas in Soweto no longer have ATM's. The criminals have the decency to block Naledi police station gate while Atm was being bombed near the police station.

[@babalwandamase9509]

Criminals have no respect for police

[@andrewmohlala3262]

ANC politicians as usual. Things have got out of hand because you were never serious about anything. People taking "advantage of our kindness" What a shame. Who told you to be kind to criminals. The heartbreaking thing is that things will keep getting worse even years after this interview

[@kamogelomadia6272]

Let's put Lesufi in down town Jhb with no protection detail and let him walk the talk.

Kunini kuthethwa ngalento ye-crime...... we are listening to the same record everyday. There are so many law- enforcement agencies but crime still prevails...... What are they doing actually?????

[@smangalisomnguni1308]

Given the amount of crime, the interview is too soft.

[@OnlyRandi]

Rather say you require assistance. These criminals aren't fools because they are beating you also the last time you had proper intelligence was in 2010 in all honesty the intelligence in our country has been compromised you are treating criminals with kid gloves toughen up.

[@babalwandamase9509]

You are mentioning few people die every day and with no hope for their cases to be solved but you just get a case number

How are you going to fund NHI?

[@tshepangkekana1756]

Its about time as communities take matters in our hands,cause justice system is failing us dismally even when police are arresting.We catch you as community you meet your maker once and forall

[@swartkat4394]

Softest interview ever 😂

[@latupeni9797]

Can the government make special task force visible like the pop policing. What I'm saying is we should have a 1.special task force for national to deal with protection for the president, deputy president etc 2.provincial special task force.to deal with things like highway hijacking , boards for province etc 3.local special task force for each and every police station in south Africa at list 35 members And cats aslo be dopleyes for each police stations to guard the police and the police station and the equipment plus dockest all that staff.when u enter police station u must poseses id document so we can know who is these person.

[@bulelanimemela8329]

I AGREE WITH LESUFI, BACK THAN WE HAD YELLOW VANS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY INCLUDING THE ARMY WAS DEPLOYED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY CRIME LEVELS WERE VERY LOW DURING APARTHEID ERA. AND WITHOUT THE ARMY THIS CONTRY IS FINISHED.

[@rendaninemavhidi1554]

Honourable premier we cant have it both ways. If we open the borders to foreign criminals in addition to local criminals we get what we are seeing.

[@SandileMntambo]

Wow Premier 13:40 . I am flabbergasted what is this guy saying? “We have been abused as the public sector, when someone with medical aid runs out of funds they go to the public sector” wow. The only person getting abused there is the citizen who has to pay tax which is supposed to ensure adequate health cover, then has to pay for medical aid because apparently the tax evaporates to thin air judging by the state of our public hospitals. I am shocked that the Premier sees the state as the victim.

[@costaqwabe5683]

Abused??????? The interviewer didn't even challenge him

[@NomD05MZ]

That man is dreaming somewhere in Luthuli bedroom. How will you fight crime outside with criminals. embraced in police service. The layer of law in forcement you laying will blanket the criminals who have already build nodes of network. Those criminal police will be dishing tip-offs anytime an operation is about to be executed.
