The African National Congress (ANC) has outlined its key policy priorities in this 2019 election manifesto. The policy, Safe Communities Safe Lives (pages 50-52) focuses on strengthening policing to rid communities or all forms of crime, drugs, gangsterim and violence against women. The policy aims to do this by ensuring police are better trained to investigate and conclude cases; increasing the numbers and visibility of police men and women in communities; implementing a national plan of action that addresses the causes of gender-based violence; equipping police and courts to support survivors of gender-based violence; targeting drug syndicates through anti-gang units.
