What is
important is that the law enforcement agencies including ourselves, is that we must not be reactive in dealing with issues of organised crimes and gangsterism. Therefore, in our advisory role including the supportive role, we'll have to look at the root causes of some of those issues. The issues of socio economic conditions, unemployment, inequality which some are a foundation of issues that we find in the cape flats, northern areas of Port Elizabeth, some areas of Johannesburg and some of those issue have got to do with exclusion mainly in the economic activities of a big number of young people particularly the issues around unemployment.
Therefore, when we have many young people particularly the youth who are used as entry point of gangsterism because they are outside of education facilities. These are concerning issues for us because
them, being outside means the state is unable to provide what is expected in terms of the role of the state and function as expected in terms of the Constitution.
