# Cape Forum says Western Cape communities should have greater law enforcement powers to address escalating violent crime. The civil rights organisation will protest at Parliament in Cape Town today, calling for the devolution of police powers to the province. Executive chairperson Heindrich Wyngaard says residents should have a say in the matter through a provincial referendum. He says the protest coincides with Parliament’s deliberations on the Electoral Commission Amendment Bill, which would provide for provincial referendums on matters affecting provinces.
