Hon Speaker, on the matter of Khutsong, first and foremost, and unambiguously, I think we all need to say that nobody should be encouraged to take the law into their own hands ,because there is no justification for that. That does not mean that we should not listen to the issues raised by the community.
The point made here that justice should take its course is supported, but at the same time we are not going to tire of engaging our communities. The Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster met yesterday, and we proceeded to Khutsong. We spoke to community members there. We agreed that we needed to have a follow-up meeting and discussions with them, but we emphasised the point that the only successful way of fighting crime and mob justice is when members of the community work with the police. There is no other way. Thank you. [Applause.]
