[COMMENT]
The continued shootings on the Cape Flats despite deployments point to a deeper problem than just visible policing. It suggests that while boots on the ground may disrupt crime temporarily, they are not dismantling the underlying gang structures driving the violence.
These groups are organised, entrenched, and often have access to illegal firearms, intelligence, and community-level influence that allows them to adapt quickly to the presence of security forces.
Whatโs happening is that criminals adjust their operations, they change times, locations, and tactics while continuing their activities.
In some cases, violence even escalates in response to pressure, especially where gang rivalries and territorial control are involved.
This means deployments alone, without sustained intelligence-led operations and successful prosecutions, are not enough to stabilise the situation.
It also raises uncomfortable questions about coordination, effectiveness, and whether enough is being done to target the leadership and financial networks behind these gangs. Without that, youโre treating symptoms, not the cause.
Bottom line: if shootings continue despite deployment, it signals that the strategy is not yet effective, and a more focused, intelligence-driven and corruption-free approach is urgently needed.
Over recent days, scores of shootings have been reported on the Cape Flats.
Hundreds of lives have been lost over recent months.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HFIa-e8XoAACX8O.jpg)

Arguing with people like this is just pointless..these ones know nothing about SA and the Black men's struggle up to where we are rn
โNigerians and other Africans in South Africa are never the problem.โ
