Cameron told BizNews he was the 13th speaker at the event, where he proceeded to tell the minister about the reality of crime and gender-based violence in the area. Cameron said: "I'm tired of the excuses and I'm tired of you making this a political thing. I want to graciously invite you to come and patrol without a bodyguard, without a grand car, in normal clothes with this community tonight to get the sewage on your shoes that they patrol through."".UPCOMING EVENTS – SIGN UP NOW .BizNews Conference .The BNC#4 house full signs have temporarily been removed.
