“Where is the law enforcement, where is the independent National Prosecuting Authority? We are now approaching the Office of the Public Protector to hold the officials accountable for bringing about justice. Shallcross has been decaying under the watch of the current political leaders and officials. We are calling for change in our communities – enough is enough,” said Rev Ramkuar.
