Western Cape Social Development MEC Albert Fritz today said his department and the Community Safety Department are working together to create job opportunities for the youth in gang-infested areas.

Fritz and other Western Cape Community Safety officials visited the communities that are overwhelmed by gang related violence on Tuesday.

 Mr Fritz further said he plans to enroll the unemployed youth at training academics and teach skills such as carpentry and plumbing.

 He urged the youth to take part in this programme so they can become better citizens.

The areas that have been affected by crime are Hanover Park  , Lavender Hill and Elsies Rivier.
