Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Grypdiewe wat die gebied by Binnelandse Sake in die Klerksdorpse middestad patrolleer, raak al hoe meer waaghalsiger en is nie bang om mense met messe te dreig en rond te stamp nie.

Slagoffers van misdaad in die omgewing die afgelope week, sê dit voel of hulle aan hul eie lot oorgelaat word as hulle die “oorlogsone’’ betree. Hulle is veral ontnugter oor die feit dat sulke voorvalle helder oordag plaasvind, en in meeste gevalle staan mense net en kyk en van die polisie is daar geen teken nie. Volgens hulle is dit soos om ‘n lam ter slagting gelei te word as jy Binnelandse Sake besoek, “want jy wag maar net om aangeval te word’’.
