Manenberg Safety Forum chairperson Roegshanda Pascoe says the latest crime statistics are still a sugar-coated version of reality.
At the same time, labour federation Cosatu has threatened to embark on a shut down in the province if authorities fail to deal with gangsterism.
The latest crime stats were released by Police Minister Bheki Cele in Parliament on Tuesday.
Cele says that according to the stats, 57 people are murdered in South Africa every day.
However, Pascoe believes that the killings on the Cape Flats account for many more lost lives.
