"Even when SAPS goes into a drug place, the parents come out and fight SAPS" - Eldorado Park Community Policing Forum

The community of Eldorado Park, in Johannesburg, has called for government to intervene in what locals have called the triple threat of rampant drug abuse, crime and unemployment. The community is currently engaging the top brass of national police, in a ministerial imbizo that aims to shine a light on crime prevention in the area. The officials, led by Deputy Minister, Cassel Mathale, have convened at a local community centre, where they aim to create a platform for effective interaction between police leadership and communities. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Deputy Chairperson of the Eldorado Park Community Policing Forum, Dominique Palmer.
