Speaking to VOC News, Abie Isaacs, Chairperson of the Cape Flats Safety Forum, expressed concern over the recurring issue.
“Once again, another body has been found in Beacon Valley. We call on the sub-council to clear the bushes specifically on the Beacon Hill, as we have urged before. It’s important to address these concealed areas that could facilitate criminal activities,” said Isaacs.
