IFP CONDEMNS CAPE BOMB OUTRAGE

CAPE TOWN :  11 JUNE, 2000

IFP Safety and Security Spokesperson, Mr Velaphi Ndlovu MP, today, condemned those responsible for planting the bomb which exploded in Seapoint, Cape Town, yesterday night.

Mr Ndlovu said:

"It is hard to find words to describe those who are willing to plant explosives with the intention of maiming and murdering innocent men, women and children in the Western Cape."

"I appeal, on behalf of the IFP, to all members of the local community to provide whatever information and assistance to the police that they can, in order that these vile criminals may be caught, convicted and punished with the full force of the law."

"I also urge the Western Cape Minister for Safety and Security, Mark Wiley, to work in close partnership with his national counterpart, Steve Tshwete to end the gangsterism, terrorism and general lawlessness which today threatens to take an unshakeable hold on the Cape."
