The Democratic Alliance (DA) claims its City of Cape Town, led by them, has managed to decrease crime in Khayelitsha by 70 percent since coming into power in 2006.

It attributes this to the city’s Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading program which is supported by German funders.

The initiative has seen R120 million invested into the township to enhance safety and security.

The party said on Sunday police statistics show more than 16,000 crime incidents were reported in township between 2003 and 2004.

The DA’s Shadow Minister for Diane Kohler-Barnard said the latest statistics were encouraging.

“It was nothing short of inspirational. According to the statistics 15,600 criminals acts were reported in 2003/4, and if we look now the number has plummeted to 5,000. That’s a 70 percent drop,” she said.

Some good new, if only we can see more places run by the DA.

I wish the country were run by a party like the DA which actually does the things they're supposed to.

this country will be run by the DA eventually, if they can put up more posters like "70% crime decrease" rather than "STOP ZUMA"

"70% crime decrease" and "STOP ZUMA" means exactly the same thing.

Djtay and friends, most luckily wont be here, because they tend to ignore posts like this, that clearly shows the superiority of the DA. That or they will post a troll comment like, "White fascist lies."

What superiority?

I have the same contempt for stats quoted by the DA as the MyKKK members have for stats the ANC quotes.

I agree. This is a holdover from the old Tony Leon days when he would yap endlessly about what the ANC was doing and not what they could be doing.

Let's face it if the ANC had made a similar claim elsewhere you and the DA would have called bull****

So you wont refute them?

I'll be the devils advocate and say maybe they bliksemed the 16000 who previously reported crimes so only 5000 report them now!

Probably because it would be bullSh!!t

Yes.... but that is because the ANC have lied countless of times in the past so only an idiot would believe their lies (someone comes to mind). It is called learning from experience.
