More resources to be mobilised for next voter reg weekend: Cachalia

Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says his department will be mobilising more resources to tighten security going into the second voter registration weekend and the upcoming local government elections.

Must I, as police minister, sit back and say, well, I’m not going to spend the resources that are required to ensure that those who are killing councillors are investigated?” One of the objectives I’m hoping we’re going to achieve in the run-up to the elections, and nobody here will say that we shouldn’t be budgeting to ensure that we have a peaceful election.
