The EFF, as opposition, doesn’t engage in politics for the sake of it. Our decision to reject the budget is based on analysis of what is at the best interest of the people.

[COMMENT]

The situation on the Cape Flats has clearly reached a point where normal policing alone is struggling to contain the violence.

When shootings escalate to the level we’re seeing now, communities live under constant fear — and that erodes trust in the state’s ability to protect people.

There are a few realities that need to be faced honestly.

1. The violence is deeply entrenched:

The shootings on the Cape Flats are not random. They are driven by:
   •   Gang turf wars
   •   Drug distribution networks
   •   Retaliation killings
   •   Recruitment of young men into gangs.

Areas like Manenberg, Hanover Park, Bishop Lavis, and Mitchells Plain have seen cycles of violence for decades.

Police operations can suppress it temporarily, but once they withdraw, gangs often reassert control.

2. A rapid stabilisation force may be necessary:

The SANDF deployment is needed right now.
The military has been used before in the Western Cape to stabilise gang hotspots. When deployed correctly, they can:
   •   Flood high-risk areas with visible security
   •   Support SAPS in cordon-and-search operations
   •   Disrupt gang movement and weapons circulation
   •   Restore a sense of safety for residents.

But the key word is support. The SANDF cannot replace policing — they can only stabilise the environment while law enforcement and intelligence dismantle the criminal networks.

3. Speed matters:

When violence spikes, delays send the wrong signal. Criminal networks interpret slow responses as weakness.

The SAPS must ensure:
   •   Rapid
   •   Intelligence-driven
   •   Targeted to hotspots
   •   Backed by strong detective work and prosecutions.

Otherwise it becomes a temporary show of force with little long-term impact.

4. The real long-term solution:

Even with soldiers on the ground, the real battle is against:
   •   Illegal firearms
   •   Drug trafficking syndicates
   •   Corruption and leaks inside law enforcement
   •   The recruitment of youth into gangs.

Without dismantling the kingpins and supply chains, the shootings will continue.

A fast SANDF stabilisation deployment could help calm the immediate crisis, but it must be paired with aggressive investigations by police, firearm seizures, and prosecutions of gang leaders.

If the state only reacts to the shootings without dismantling the networks behind them, the cycle will simply repeat.

Communities on the Cape Flats deserve the same level of safety as any other part of South Africa. Right now, many residents feel abandoned — and that cannot continue.

SCAM ALERT ⚠️

Please take note individuals currently visiting Pretoria stores.

They introduce themselves as store management and then con the customer into tapping their bank card onto a numerical PIN pad in order to get a 50% discount.

During this transaction, they will steal the customer's bank card after observing the PIN code they attempt to enter.

They will then disappear and withdraw all available funds from the stolen card.

🚨Must Read🚨

In today’s edition of The Radical Voice, we feature an editorial that highlights how under the leadership of the Economic Freedom Fighters’ former MMC for Water @MsaneThembi, the City of Ekurhuleni has strengthened water infrastructure, reduced water losses to the lowest level in Gauteng, expanded reservoirs and storage capacity, and ensured reliable supply for communities and industry.

This progress demonstrates that with disciplined, people-centred leadership, municipalities can protect public resources, deliver quality services, and uphold the constitutional right to clean and reliable water.

EFF Subregional Chair Fighter @mafia_fane alongside SRCT members Fighter Nompumelelo Hlambo and Given Ngomane convened an extended BCT meeting in Ward 15, Tonga Zone, for the purpose of assessing the state of the branch and convey the immediate task that must be carried out by all branches as mandated by the EFF Plenum.

The meeting was attended by the BCT led by Branch Chairperson Fighter Nonhlanhla Shabane and Branch Secretary Mpendulo Hlatshwayo, and all VDCC.

[Timeless @BikonciousMan]

ActionSA voted against the EFF Motion to remove the Indigent Residents from the Debtors List. The poor residents of Ekurhuleni who can’t afford basic services will continue to owe municipality and be subjected to debt collectors even though there is empirical evidence that they are poor and can’t afford. They call themselves Patriotics💔💔.

@Phumla_N @AmandaMavuso_ It was the EFF which tabled a motion of insourcing in 2022 in the city of Ekurhuleni that was ultimately passed. We have consistently kept monitoring its implementation and shall continue to do so

[Omphile Maotwe @OmphileMaotwe]

Including SARS Dokotela @TshimomolaGK remember the Commissioner of SARS Mr Kieswetter informed the Standing Committee on Finance that he insourced workers, so the haphazard approach won’t work. Let’s all rally behind building state capacity that is able to serve its people.
