# Cape Forum says former Coloured military veterans should be considered in efforts to fight gangs and the drug trade in the Western Cape. The organisation believes experienced former soldiers from the South African Cape Corps could strengthen community safety if policing powers are devolved to the province. The forum’s Heindrich Wyngaard says many Coloured military veterans continue to struggle to access recognition and benefits. Wyngaard calls for policing powers to be devolved to the province to strengthen the fight against crime.
