The police's anti-gang unit on Friday received about 50 brand-new high-performance vehicles during its launch in Hanover Park, Cape Town.

President Cyril Ramaphosa and Police Minister Bheki Cele formally launched the anti-gang unit in an effort to disorganise and disable the criminal economy linked to gangsterism in Hanover Park and surrounding areas that have reportedly been affected by gang activity.

Ramaphosa acknowledged that gangsterism was caused by socio-economic issues, and said government would also be working on ways to address those challenges.
