In other news, For almost two decades a gang known as the Oonontwayibonwa has unleashed a reign of terror including killing, raping, robbing and stock theft. Provincial government spokesperson Khuselwa Rantjie said Mabuyane and his cabinet would update communities on the government’s response to the criminality.
“The rise in sexual assault, rape and robberies targeting vulnerable members of the community as well as stock theft has warranted traditional leaders in the area to seek strengthened government support,” Rantjie said.
Traditional leaders hope this will not disintegrate into another talk show, but see action and promises fulfilled. Mthatha traditional leader local forum chair Nkosi Zwelithobile Mtirara wrote a memo on August 4 to government leaders requesting urgent intervention.
