Johannesburg – Gauteng police commissioner Mzwandile Petros on Wednesday admitted the province was labelled as a ‘gangsters’ paradise’.

“I was fascinated by the beauty of the walls of Gauteng because the walls are five metres high instead of two metres high,” he said during an interview on Talk Radio on 702.

“Something is not right. The people are living in fear.”

He said the term ‘Gangsters’ paradise’ was given by the people of Gauteng themselves and this fear was justified.

He recalled in the interview when he moved to Gauteng from the Western Cape in 2010 to take up the post as provincial commissioner.
