Exciting developments! SJC held a meeting with leaders from communities. We reflected on past victories and challenges and appointed an interim committee to lead and facilitate upcoming programs and activities. Stay tuned for more details on the new interim committee members.

Taiwan informal settlement in Site C has been devastated by a fire. Over 60 homes destroyed this evening due to the blaze and strong winds. The community is in dire need of humanitarian aid and building materials. Please contact: Sibusiso Madlankomo - 069 227 4837 @CityofCT

"The state of the Philiphi police academy mirrors most police stations in the country, corruption everywhere! It's time for heads to roll. Enough is enough. 🚨 #Accountability #EndCorruption #CapeTown https://t.co/CPzsAgjQ2c

The SJC is disturbed that informal settlements in Khayelitsha are neglected due to Ithalomso Waste Management's unpaid workers withdrawing from cleaning. This health risk affects many. The @CityofCT, you must act why have funds not been provided? #WeNeedAnswers

Oh, our dear Parliamentarians are fully aware that South African streets aren't safe. That's why they send VIP protection for ministers and keep that budget intact, while happily cutting funds for police in communities. Priorities, right? #SafetyFirst #EquitablePoliceResouces

WE'RE HIRING | MVC is looking for a researcher whose work will focus on South Africa’s democracy, and the relationship between money and politics. This is a permanent, hybrid position based in Woodstock, Cape Town. Apply by 28 July. Full spec: https://t.co/oHFy9yMqQP

Oh, brilliant move! Why on earth wouldn't you hand over crowd control to a private security company with zero training in handling protests or public gatherings? I mean, what could possibly go wrong with untrained personnel managing potentially volatile situations?

We welcome new Minister of Police.We urge him to prioritize visible policing in informal settlements and allocate experienced officers to high-crime areas like Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Nyanga, Delft, and Hanover Park. #NewPoliceMinister #CommunitySafety #VisiblePolicing

https://t.co/F1Hk2BqvZx The SJC and Nyanga CPF reflect on the recent mass shootings that claimed lives. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. #EndViolence #CommunityUnity #CapeTown #khayelitsha

We send our heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of those affected by this tragedy. No one should have to endure such pain and loss.

Until policing in poor, working-class communities and the Cape Flats is prioritized, as recommended by the Khayelitsha Commission, we will continue to witness such horrific incidents and loss of life. The time for action is now. #Khayelitsha #EndGunViolence #JusticeForAll

Incidents of this nature rarely occur in affluent areas such as Rondebosch and Sea Point, where there is extensive surveillance and private security, along with SAPS presence. Criminals in these areas are swiftly apprehended, or at the very least, the police have leads to follow.

The SJC has also called for the deployment of more experienced police personnel to #Khayelitsha. It is disheartening to see that these measures have not been implemented, despite the urgency and clear need.

The recent mass shootings in #Khayelitsha are senseless and tragic. These deaths could have been prevented. The Social Justice Coalition (SJC) has long been advocating for CCTV cameras and increased police visibility in the area.

After decades of relentless campaigning by SJC, the long-awaited Makhaza police station is finally a reality! #CommunityVictory #Makhaza #SJC #SafetyForAll #Capetown
