# The Freedom Front Plus in Gauteng says it has requested premier Panyaza Lesufi to appoint a member of the Legislature as the MEC for Community Safety. The party says the premier currently holds both offices, which is not ideal given the province’s high crime rate. The FF Plus says community safety requires dedicated attention to complex issues such as police conduct, the efficiency of the criminal justice system, and sophisticated crime prevention strategies. It adds that both roles require significant strategic attention, stakeholder engagement and practical oversight.
FF Plus Gauteng says Lesufi should separate roles of premier and Community Safety MEC
