Radebe talks tough

JUSTICE Minister Jeff Radebe has warned gang members waging war in Port Elizabeth's northern areas that their days are numbered.

He was in Port Elizabeth yesterday to open the newly renovated and extended Gelvandale Branch Court, which will operate with the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court.

"Gangsters, we will catch you and put you in jail. Your days are numbered. We will leave no stone unturned in catching you," Radebe said.

He said there were 17 gangs active in Helenvale alone and they had been responsible for 20 deaths in the past two months. - Kathryn Kimberley and Alvené du Plessis
