DA pledges safer Ekurhuleni offers reward
DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis has told Tsakane residents that Ekurhuleni will be safer under the DA.
Geordin Hill-Lewis, leader of the Democratic Alliance, has pledged to make residents of Ekurhuleni safer and offered a R500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators in recent murders. Tsakane, a municipality impacted by nine women's murders over three months, welcomed Hill-Lewis's engagement as part of the DA's Working For All Tour.
The party aims to professionalize the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department by ensuring senior officers undergo lifestyle audits, hire capable individuals, and hold officers accountable to protect the public. Hill-Lewis also emphasized the need for a stronger policing presence in vulnerable areas, including improving streetlights, public transport stations, and pedestrian routes through better use of technology like drones and cameras.
