THULANI MAHLANGU
Insofar as the gangs are concerned, is that at the time of this violence the gangs would use the opportunity to benefit themselves, they would steal cars etc., and they would do all of these things under our noses.
	For example, it so happened in one year on a New Year's Eve, people got shot as firecrackers were being fired and we suggested to the community that children should not be allowed to use firecrackers, and at the same time these people were using their  firearms.  	
	We saw them fleeing after shots were fired which we had mistaken for firecrackers.  Therefore we had to patrol the area and make sure that they did not continue doing the same thing.
