Cape Town - The Hanover Park Community Policing Forum (CPF) has criticised the policing by the 60 law enforcement officers (LEO) officers in the area, saying their presence has done little to quell violent crimes such as shootings, murder and rape.
The area has seen a continued spate of shootings, murders and rape cases, with around 20 to 30 confirmed rape cases over the past two to three months reported to the Philippi police station (covering the Philippi precinct as well), according to Hanover Park CPF member Yaseen Johaar.
In October 2020 and as part of the Western Cape Safety Plan, 60 Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) LEOs was redeployed to Hanover Park as a response to gang-related crime and violence.
