Residents of Osizweni, located in Newcastle, northern KwaZulu-Natal, are pleading for Police Minister Bheki Cele to return to their area due to ongoing terror from two rival gangs. These gangs, identified as “Last Warnings” and “Juveniles,” roam the streets in large groups armed with pangas and knives, causing significant distress among the community. The gang members are strikingly young, ranging from 12 to 23 years old. This troublesome environment has prompted the community to seek immediate intervention to restore peace. In light of these events, residents underline the need for heightened awareness and proactive measures to ensure a safer and more prosperous future.
