Insp Mangema urged parents to take responsibility for their children by closely monitoring them always. She added:
We have been conducting crime awareness campaigns using loud hailers and influential local traditional leaders in a drive to curb crimes in the province but it seems as if people are not listening.
We urge members of the public to take responsibility for their children by monitoring wherever they are playing and they must never expose them to criminals.
