Western Cape, November 5 -- Reinforcements have had to be sent in after residents of Hawston, near Hermanus, turned on police at the weekend.  A police officer and a teenage boy were shot and wounded on Saturday, while several vehicles and a police building were petrol bombed.  The SAPS says the violence is linked to illegal perlemoen poaching, but the community claims police are to blame.
