47 Murders in 48 Hours in the Western Cape, Anti-Gang Unit Without Radios
Despite South Africa's Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, stating on Monday that the Western Cape receives more resources than other Provinces, 47 murders were committed between 4am Saturday and 5am Monday. Civic rights groups allege the province's Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) lacks essential equipment such as radios, relying on their personal cell phones and mobile data to communicate during call outs.
