Loading player...
The Democratic Alliance says the deployment of SANDF troops in Cape Town’s gang hotspots is already failing- just a week after it began. This comes after eight people, including three children, were shot in Mitchells Plain on Tuesday. The DA says 36 people have been killed since the army’s arrival, raising concerns about a lack of strategy and too few boots on the ground. Phemelo speaks to Portfolio Committee on Police Chairperson, Ian Cameron.
