  • Description: The DA's official line on urban safety promises to enrol ordinary people in the improvement of the city through social crime reduction strategies: as one memorable slogan in the recent local election campaign noted '' a child in sport, is a child out of court''. [...]the nature of our recent past means that ordinary South Africans must be continually vigilant about the application of state power, especially when this is glossed in a packaged coat of ''international best practise''. [...]despite the service it pays to liberal platitudes about an open society, the DA's approach to Cape Towns 'peripheral' areas and populations appears to replicate a governmental strategy of disgusting inequality by force and lashing out at society's most vulnerable.
