At least 16 people have been killed and 39 wounded in two months in a drug and turf war which is fuelling gang violence across the province. (from IOL)
In a desperate effort to put an end to the attacks, police are tightening their grip on drug dealers and users.
In seven months just three police stations in the province have recorded 4 525 drug-related arrests.
Police Commissioner Mzwandile Petros said police were tackling gang violence from every angle except focusing on the drug trade, which seemed to be at its root.
In Bishop Lavis, where 967 drug arrests were made since April, three people were killed and three others wounded in attacks. One resident was killed and six others wounded in Atlantis in a gang fight over drug turf.
