DA NCOP Member on Security and Justice, Nicholas Gotsell says one week of army deployment on the Cape Flats has delivered no credible plan, no measurable results and far fewer troops than promised. The DA says despite the presence of soldiers, violence continues unabated. Nine people were shot in Mitchell's Plain this week alone, including children in a brazen attack at a taxi rank. Critics argue the deployment lacks a clear operational plan, measurable goals and adequate intelligence, raising serious questions about whether it is making any real impact in curbing gang violence.
