ACDP nie verbaas oor Pretoria se moordsyfers MEDIA VERKLARING 10 Feb 2008
ACDP not surprised by murder statistics
The shocking murder statistics for Pretoria revealed today in Rapport comes as no surprise to the ACDP, says Ms. AnneMarie Sparg, ACDP councillor and media spokesperson.
“We, as well as other opposition parties, had been fighting – yes, unfortunately there is no better word to describe this – in council for the right of communities to protect themselves through access control. The same murder data had been quoted in council on numerous occasions. I myself had been trapped in crossfire once. The opposition is, however, slammed by members of the ANC during debates on access control, in the City Planning Committee.
“In some way or another, the ANC under the leadership of the Mayor, regards the freedom of movement of vagabonds as a higher order right than the right to life of law abiding citizens. We trust that the statistics quoted in Rapport today will shock the Human Rights Commission into action to have a keen look at the ANC’s abuse of power at the expense of the constitutional right to safety.
“The ACDP, at different levels, has repeatedly called on government to declare a state of emergency against crime. Also former Minister Pik Botha has done so.”

ACDP nie verbaas oor Pretoria se moordsyfers
Die skokkende moordsyfers wat Rapport vir dele van Pretoria vandag onthul, kom as geen verrassing vir die ACDP nie, aldus me. AnneMarie Sparg, ACDP-raadslid en mediawoordvoerder.
“Ons en van die ander opposisiepartye baklei – daar is ongelukkig nie ‘n meer beskaafde woord hiervoor nie – in die raad vir die regte van gemeenskappe om hulself met beheerde toegang te beveilig. Dieselfde moordsyfers is al by herhaling in die raad geopper. Ek self is by geleentheid in spervuur vasgevang. Die opposisie word egter vanuit die ANC-geledere verguis, met heel onwaardige verbale aanvalle.
“Op die een of ander wyse plaas die ANC, onder die leierskap van die burgemeesteres, rondlopers se reg op bewegingsvryheid bo wetsgehoorsame burgers se reg op lewe, en die syfers vandag in Rapport behoort die Menseregtekommissie te beweeg om ernstig na die ANC se magsmisbruik ten koste van burgers se grondwetlike reg op veiligheid te kyk.
“Die ACDP het al by herhaling op verskillende vlakke versoek dat ‘n noodtoestand teen misdaad afgekondig word – ‘n versoek wat ook deur oud-minister Pik Botha gerig is.”

SANDF time to assist in fighting crime - ACDP
“It is totally unacceptable that criminals are granted so much space from where they can launch their raids on Monument Park residents and even the police without additional assistance to eradicate the gangsters’ paradise.
“It is ridiculous that criminals, of whom many are illegal immigrants, could have erected such no go areas where they can tend to their matters undisturbed, but at the expense of law abiding citizens,” says Ms. AnneMarie Sparg, ACDP Tshwane councillor.
She reacted to complaints, including written complaints, to the reign of terror orchestrated from the squatter settlement in the former Rosana and Klawer quarries in Monument Park.
“The problems have been handled by the relevant bodies such as the ward committee, SAPS and the Police Forum, but to no avail.
On the behalf of the community, the ACDP calls on the Metro police and SANDF to urgently launch a “joint operation” with the SAPS to CLEAN this area as soon as possible. This task is of such a magnitude that it cannot be tasked by one of the above law enforcing units on its own.
It is about the time that the SANDF assist the SAPS and residents in this raging war.
“With safe havens for criminals such as this it is no wonder that diplomats are attacked and that the President’s residence needed to be equipped with a security wall of millions of rands.”

Tyd dat weermag help met dié misdaad - ACDP
“Dit is onaanvaarbaar dat misdadigers ruimte gegun word vanwaar hulle hul strooptogte op Monumentpark en selfs die polisie kan loods.
“Dit is verregaande dat misdadigers, waaronder talle onwettige immigrante, nou sulke “no go”-areas kan skep waar hulle ongestoord, en ten koste van wetsgehoorsames, hul lewens kan lei,” sê me. Annemarie Sparg, raadslid van die ACDP in die Tshwane-raad.
Sy het gereageer op klagtes, waaronder skriftelike klagtes, oor die terreur waaraan inwoners van Monumentpark en omgewing blootgestel word vanuit die plakkerskamp in die voormalige Rosama en Klawer-gruisgrooef.
“Die probleem is al deur al die toepaslike liggame soos die wykskomitee, polisiëringsforum en SAPD opgeneem, maar steeds word die wetsgehoorsames onuithoudbaar geterroriseer.
Die ACDP doen 'n beroep op die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag om 'n gesamentlike operasie met die SAPD en Metropolisie te loods om die area skoon te maak van misdadigers.
Die taak is van so 'n aard dat dit nie net deur die bogenoemde liggame alleen gehanteer kan word nie.
Dit is hoog tyd dat die weermag ingryp en help om die probleem op te los aangesien die SAPD en die inwoners nou met ‘n duidelike oormag te make het.
“Met hierdie tipe situasie is dit geen wonder dat diplomate gereeld aangeval, en die president ‘n veiligheidsmuur van miljoene rande moet oprig nie.”

Zille arrest is cowardly
ACDP President, Kenneth Meshoe, said that it is cowardly of the police to arrest innocent people instead of criminals. He said this after hearing of the arrest of the DA leader, Helen Zille.
