Krugersdorp residents tell Cele they live in fear – ‘men or women, it’s all the same’
Updated | By Sibahle Motha
West Village residents in Krugersdorp on the West Rand have told the Police Minister that ambulance services do not enter their community over security fears.

Minister Bheki Cele and law enforcement agencies were in Krugersdorp on Saturday, for a crime Imbizo.
The visit by the Minister follows the brutal rape of eight young women by a group of men, believed to have been illegal miners.
The rapes led to a week of violence with residents targeting foreigners that they say are so-called zama zamas.
Home Affairs Minister, Aaron Motsoaledi was also present at the Imbizo.

A resident said the only way that ambulance services are able to enter the community is when they are escorted by police.
“We escort our children every morning when they have to go and board the bus. This is because we are afraid of these super men - I will not refer to them as zama-zamas, they are super men,” they said.
“We are being raped - men or women, it’s all the same. There are a lot of problems that we encounter here.”
Earlier this week, Kagiso residents took it upon themselves to weed out illegal miners residing in their community.
One person has since passed away in the wake of the violence.
