EWN reports that the City of Cape Town is concerned by the ongoing attacks on its staff members in the townships. According to the city, these attacks are standing in the way of delivering services to communities.
More than 15 such incidents were recorded between July and September this year. Three city staff members were also murdered while on duty during the same period. The city's safety and security chairperson, Mzwakhe Qavashe observed: : "They (staff members) work so hard to serve our communities, often in very difficult circumstances and so it's incredibly disappointing to see how prevalent attacks have become, and also the level of violence directed at staff."
