The illegal selling of beds has been identified as the root cause of the murders and instability at the notorious Glebelands hostel in Durban's Umlazi township, Kwazulu-Natal premier Senzo Mchunu said yesterday. More than 60 people were reportedly killed in violence last year at what is now referred to as the Glebelands Residential Unit.Mchunu assured residents that progress was being made to ensure their security."The government has been monitoring the situation since our meeting with residents and all roleplayers at Glebelands Stadium. An integrated approach has ensured that we make progress in terms of the implementation of a turn-around strategy."Extra security measures include lighting to ensure visibility at night, CCTV cameras and perimeter fencing."Surveillance cameras and unshielded floodlights will deter criminal activities and intruders. This will also help residents to feel safer and will reduce incidents of theft and damage to property," said Mchunu."We identified the selling of beds as the root cause of murders and instability at Glebelands. Tenants registration will help stop the illegal selling of beds by individuals."Moving forward, eThekwini Municipality, as the landlord, will be handling matters related to rent and occupation."Those who are found to be involved in the illegal selling of beds will face the full might of the law," he stated.The premier added that resources had also been allocated for police to conduct random searches and other operations to root out crime. ..
