    With the longest festive season of the year only a few weeks away, LINDANI DONYELI  asked residents what causes crime to spike during the holidays:- 

    Nokwakha Mali – Restaurant worker
    “Unemployment of the youth and the use of drugs.”
    Bhasela Saki – Warrant Officer
    “Those who don’t have money are greedy and want to celebrate like others.”
    Eviwe Matiwana – CWP Worker
    “Everyone wants money in December regardless of working or not and there is no employment”
    Malibongwe Makhasi – Manager 
    “Boasting [in front of]those who are not employed.”
    Bongani Mfunzini – Unemployed
    “No employment”
    Zameka Mata – CWP worker
    “They want to have things like those who have worked. So, us who have worked, end up having nothing”
    White Royi – CWP Worker
    “Poverty creates crime. When people are hungry they start to create crime.”
    Nolime Mafele – CWP Worker
    “There must be working opportunities. [Outside] companies must not bring their own people when there are projects.”
    Vuyolwethu Bonde – CWP Supervisor 
    “People get their bonus and there are those from somewhere else] who want to rob them.”
    Masibongwe Makile – CWP Worker
    “Those who have cash boast. It is pain[ful]to see someone with money when you don’t have.”
    Zandisile Matiwana – CWP Worker
    “It’s alcohol and drugs”

    Xolelwa Kondile – Project Worker
    “People get bonus and others don’t have anything.”
