Chapman's Peak remains closed after more than three months while
South Peninsula residents remain the victims of an inadequate road system, in part because the Chapman's Peak concessionaire apparently have no incentive to open the road as government guarantees to cover operational, managerial and contingent costs.

High expectations set for anti-gang project
GANGS will be a thing of the past if a recent programme launched by the Department of Community Safety achieves its goals – but community organisations say success is unlikely.
The aim of the project is to reduce opportunities for gang expansion, offer “alternative options” to affected communities, and prevent and reduce the factors that drive young people into gangs.
According to Community Safety MEC Patrick McKenzie, what makes the programme unique is that various departments will “work holistically” to do effectively what “many never could achieve”.
“Instead of each separate sector working on its own, we think that by joining forces, this project will reach its full potential. It will be a partnership between the police, national intelligence, the national prosecuting authority, Metro Police and the South African Revenue Services, which will work towards combating the scourge of gangsterism, as well as bring high fliers to book.”
