# Women in Vusimuzi informal settlement in Thembisa, Gauteng says they live in fear and want the area declared a danger-zone following the discovery of 12 women’s bodies across Ekurhuleni in the past two months. Residents say criminals operate with little police visibility, with reports of robberies and night-time home invasions. The latest body was found half-naked outside Mooifontein Cemetery. They are calling for more patrols, streetlights and national intervention, saying they no longer feel safe going to work.
