On Friday, Fikile Mbalula spoke to angry community members who had staged a week-long protest there.  

They say vehicle theft has been on the rise and criminals are using the town, situated near the Mozambican border, as a hideout.   

The minister's spokesperson, Vuyo Mhaga says they are looking at bringing the Mozambican government on board to help deal with these issues.

"He will have to interact with the SA Defence Force, the government of Mozambique, and the SA Police Service. On the day, he will come back with concrete information so he will have to speak with all the roleplayers," he said.
