Alastair Butterworth: “It’s a difficult situation, and when the topic of drugs is brought up, I think emotions can run high. I believe the police could do a better job with regards to the drug trade, but I think we can trust them to do so.”

Chris Tshaykang: “Yes, I do believe the police can deal with the problem, because they once patrolled outside my complex and asked me to show them who were selling drugs in the area.”

Hannes Petzer: “No, I have no faith in the police. When I stayed in Witfield, I was a victim of break-ins and they either took long to show up, or they didn’t show up at all. Maybe there are some good ones, but I don’t have faith in the system.”

AG Lewis: “Yes, I do trust the police to deal with the drug problem.”

Sarel Petzer: “The problem has to do with money. I have witnessed police pulling someone over and taking a bribe from them.”

Hester Williams: “The police do nothing, they respond late to calls, and sometimes they don’t even respond. I have not faith in them to deal with the drug problem.”

Helen van Niekerk: “It is a difficult topic. My ex-fiancé was on drugs and he killed himself. However, I don’t think the police can deal with the problem, because it appears to be getting out of hand.”
