In 2014, Judge Kate O'Regan and Advocate Vusi Pikoli chaired a commission of inquiry into policing in Khayelitsha. The inquiry made some headway into implementing the 20 recommendations submitted after its conclusion, but residents living in Khayelitsha said they were far from being any safer.

The systemic failures addressed by the Commission include the failure of the police and other criminal justice actors to police, investigate and convict perpetrators of violence within our communities.

Seven years down the line, how far are we with the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations?
