And one of six at them Our twelve minutes night is past five o'clock. As indicated earlier, thirty five year old man has been arrested in Cape Town in connection with the brutal murder of seven people in Google are two over this past weekend. The suspect was appreended yesterday evening and has currently been processed as he awaits his court appearance at the Athlones Magistrate's Court. My understanding is that the police are searching for a second suspect. Jenny
on the line is Domisani Kuebet. Domisani is with the Younger Community Policing Forum. Domisani. Very good morning and welcome to the show.
Good morning. How are you to do.
I'm very well. I'm very well. Thank you very much. I hope you are well too. It's very distressing what is happening in Google are two primarily, but also some deaths reported in younger in Philippi and such areas. What do you understand to be happening right now? What is the reason for all this death.
A thank you very much for the time. Firstly, we can say all is stend of maders I will have if you are alone the man is happening. It might be the issue of the people are knowing it's hard and they've got their own grashes, so they do relativity to one another. For example, in this case of Younger that double make better pendent Sunday. If you may just observe and listen to the community, find that one of the fifteens is from cooglut sight, which means it might be
something that's related to other meaders. One us from crossroads. So it says the similar cases of retaliation that seems to be happening within our areas.
Now are these people involved in extortionism that obviously is causing quite a lot of distress in the communities at the moment?
What there is a criminal element being done by them that we can never run away from it because the manu the happening. It tells there is an alarm in terms of criminal activity is done by them. And as yourself, why would a person from who would say look side come and sleep in Younger if there is no primal activities There might be such in cases of chromo civity, so they might be knowing one or another on the road.
As indicated earlier, thirty five year old man has been arrested in Cape Town by the police services and they are now on the search for a second suspect. I imagine these are news that you welcome as the community policing for them.
Yes, actually, indeed we do upload on that turn, and we are saying in order for us in STAPs to be in a good working relationship, such things must be done. Secondly, we also appealing to Climate Intelligence and crimeate Dejection inside to work together to ensure that whenever someone god of information came to add a combine that's crime detections, so
they can work together. If for now it can. If they can work together, believe me, we'll be able to say that those padress get arrested and Addacus can be prevented before they happened.
Are you saying this because there is evidence that they're not working together.
Altually for now? For now, you can see that between crime intelligence and crimate there's no good working relationship in
between the lines. That's what needs to be instilled between those two components that they can work together For example, if I might be honest with you, a person was in charge of clime teeniten in these provinces, not ye and keep down it in territory in Tritoria, how can that person be able to see what must be done by the crime detection side if the president is in Tritory, so we need them to work together.
Yes, certainly a question for the provincial Commissioner of Police here and the West in Cape I suppose Tomisani. The police are asking for community members to obviously offer up any information which might help with the investigation. Are you finding that the community is willingly offering information or are they still a little bit cautious in sharing information with the SAPs A cholage.
It is that confidence of working together the community and they live with some ways of giving the information to the community, as we always educate them in our continuity in doing disus that you don't have to share even your name when you report such incident, or if you can't say it public, just speak to the person that
you are sure that won't be any leaks. In terms of that given that drug does happen to us, especially in the Apersepence, it's there have been some cases and conflictions that we have been given and every that through the workation between police and the community, there's been those convictions. Tell us it's working good. We need to encourage them not to stop giving the information up all.
Right, the seven who were killed in Google are two. According to some reports I have from people living in Coogole too, only one of them were involved in extortionism. The rest of the friends were gathering, they all used to go to high school together into was a small reunion.
We do know that.
I think it was three individuals were spared because they were asleep in the bedroom where the shootings happened. So so the reality is there often is a case where one person is being hunted, but because that person is sitting with other people, the rest of the people become victims as well. How do we stop this? Domisani? How what do you think needs to happen to stop the the levels of killing and violence in Google? Two, in Younger, in samramashall in Philippi and such.
One thing that we need to do for now special way to work with community and give commitants and assurance of their safety. So currently, if I may recall last year in fifteenth of May twenty twenty four, the ten Boys bring Police Minister gave the current Pressal Commission a directive that at least for two or three months he mustive boy and I you dirty in this community so that they can't be stability. And we had sometimes requested
them to have just an area look down. For example, if they can just do a lockdown in brand Farm for one two days and we'll give an alarm indication to the pader that there steps up serves on the road. So we're just also appealing to the current Address Commission just a month a man just to have thirty and and are you in this press of hours, then things will be stabilized.
All right, We'll live there. Do miss anything very much to do Mission Quobe, member of the Younger Community Policing Forum. It was not the strongest line, but I think an important conversation. Nonetheless, given the reported incidents of murder, particularly in Google too, I do hope that if you are a resident of the community and have any information that you can share with the SAPs, that you will reach out and share that information so that investigation can proceed
with some speed. Thank you very much once again to do MISSA ani Quibe
