South African president Cyril Ramaphosa ordered troops into the suburbs of Cape Town to quell a crime wave that municipal officials say has turned the city into a “warzone.” Hundreds of soldiers will be deployed into sprawling area of townships known as the Cape Flats to combat gang-related violence that saw 14 people killed in 24 hours last week. More than 900 people have been killed in gang-related violence in the Cape Flats in the past year. Last Friday, six women between the ages of 18 and 26 were murdered by unknown gunmen at a home in a shanty town in the area. The next day another five men, aged 18 to 39, were shot dead and one was injured in two separate shooting incidents in the township of Philippi. https://www.yahoo.com/news/sou...rzone-185644514.html Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

Just as expected. Crimes feeds on crime. The South African government turned a blind eye to it for so long, it is going to be a difficult, if not impossible fight! Yesterday I was in the EMIRATES lounge in Dubai airport. Met a Danish doctor, married to a doctor from New Zealand. She told me they have been living in Dubai for 27 years. Lack of crime and a good living standard are the reason they love it there. I mentioned that criminals do get punished here. She said “I honestly wish other countries follow your example!” | |||

Total BS! RSA is the epitome of peace and tranquility - what you are hearing or reading is FAKE news according to the blowhards.  | |||

South Africa is just another failed African state. No cure either. Grizz Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal.

It’s too bad that RSA continues down this path. I took my wife, 3 sons, and father there a few years back. I would not do that now | |||

I am 100% in agreement with you on that! In the USA liberal Judges and prosecutors have been so easy on criminals for so long, the criminals know they can get away with decades of criminal behavior before they spend any real time in prison. In Denver a few years back, a Police Officer got into a lot of trouble for shooting and killing a Mexican woman who tried to run him down as he tried to arrest her for driving a stolen car. She was out on bail at the time for grand theft auto. The idiot liberal lawmakers then forced a policy change that Law Enforcement cannot shoot people simply because they drive a car at them. The police have to try and get out of the way. Total stupidity. As for the dead car thief, GOOD RIDDANCE! BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||

If you saw the sad state of the SADF, this isn't going to deter the gangs whatsoever. Most probably the soldiers will sell their weapons to the gangs for beer change. Ever wonder where the gangs get their weapons? ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

That bastard can rot in jail. He has been in and out of jail for a number of crimes! Anyway, what has that got to do with South Africa?? | |||

The ANC has been using gangs and violence to destabilize DA strongholds like Cape Town and KZN for years. Accordingly, the ANC has no real agenda to curb violence in Cape Town. This is largely for show. ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

It is the usual practice. Political parties using the public to extend their agendas. Being practiced worldwide!  Not much difference to zealots in religion really. Same methods, same results. | |||
