Gangs on the Cape Flats say they do not fear the army and will carry on with their “operations” as normal.

Cape Town -

The gangster, in fact, welcomed the army, saying: “Too many innocent people are being killed. It’s right that the army is coming, this will stop all the shooting and make it safer for people to just live in peace.” He admits some of their members shoot innocent people but says they are being punished under “the law of the nommer”.

Meanwhile, a leader of the Mongrels gang, whose “biggest sale items” are abalone, tik and mandrax, laughed when asked how the army would affect them. “I saw the arrival of the troops, most of them are in my area,” one leader says. “I have safe houses and have been able to view the activity of all Law Enforcement officers. “We do not stop business because things get hot. The army will come and go, but people’s needs will always be there.”

CeeTee72 The army should shoot all of them.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Police officers are scared of these kids? Professional shooting skills fears unprofessional gangsters🐯 Hayi kubhedile fakani Oomantshingilane

Everyone knows that these gangs are cancer and that the only way to get rid of it is to cut it out , but this is politically not possible . So unless the community sorts this out then it's here to stay .

JackD157 They will die like dogs

ndiana

MbuyiseniNdlozi Yeah they won't touch you they'll shoot you dead

Ba tla nyaa, they watch action movies etv.

Makes my bloody blood boil f%s

We’ve been knew

How do you know this?

This is scary

RicharddeNooy Need a few holes in the head.

Seems the gangsters think the army is having a discount gun sale?!

Well kill them all they add no value to society

President please give an order for the Army to Shoot to Kill the Resistance.

OM

Army will kill em...

🤣🤣🤣🤣mabena your in trouble the gangs will Rob the soldiers now

Lol do you think you can stop people who are not afraid to die

They probably watched too many Mabena videos.

They meant it

Army must apply force for two months sibone ke ukuth uban clever

willfreeiam These guys are not normal, they shouldn't be treated like normal people.

Zimbabwe and Lesotho police can sort out that area in half a day. Just the police and not soldiers.

Because the army isn't authorised to hunt them but just be in the streets as mannequin's of security hence the gangs arrogance, for they know nothing is gonna happen to them because the army is window shopping...

NARCOS is loading....

uNdlunkulu_Xoli Those gangsters are crazy and what is important for South Africans is that the President responded to their call. Let us appreciate where someone did the correct thing.

We shall see then still early days.

That's because the police will continue to feed them information about the operations. At least they will stop shooting at each other and killing community members.

You guys know them? Haibo kungaqalwa ngani nje since you concealing their identities

Hebanna😂😂😂😂🙌🏾

🤣🤣🤣 I don't know why i find this funny yazz

Just close off the cape flats, give them even more guns and ammunition and let them kill each other off even quicker,

Death penalty for drug dealers and for drug addicts if they don't reveal who they are buying from

Their police informants told them that.

MbuyiseniNdlozi This guy's need a fucken bomb and destroy them all... 💣

VusiSambo Meanwhile back at the ranch...

clearly the Jurno's know their identity so lead the f^(kN way Bissssssssshhhhzzz

😂😂😂😂😂the real Presidents of RSA

zeebee__xo

Malebzz Yeah, I don't think that gangster chap actually understands how brutal the army is.

'operations' 🤔😒

Let me hev a look........

What operations 😔

Take the army to those gangs you interview

The police and the army need to do house-to-house searches of the gang members- the community know who they are.

This article is very wrong in sooo many ways because when the army starts cracking the whip the same news company will be writing something different. are trying to provoke the soldiers showing that they careless of the outcome of the engagement of the army and the citizens.

Here is what i dont understand...who runs the strategy and planning and deployment wing in the army...or at least the Joint security chiefs conclave...this did not need mass dployment but a joint effort from army special forces and Police Task force. Grab and dismantle only!!!

so went and questioned the gangs, SAPS are not arresting

Take the army to the gangs you interviewed. Reckless journalists

Nation without culture what do you expect from them let them killed themselves

MbuyiseniNdlozi 😂😂😂 Azishe

Legenge idinga amabutho akithi KwaZulu 😏🌚

These people have created their own state mos,,,

Sisenjenj moss 😏😏 mezodlaza Lithamsanqa

Lol this guy's 😂🤣😂

What about the addicts that need supplies. Take them to rehab so u starve off demand

Psyzah What are their operations 😳?

Serious we can't wait to see war

MbuyiseniNdlozi They're playing with fire

SAPoliceService MbalulaFikile Abramjee SANDFCorpEvents

They understand that they have top cops on their payroll, the army ie working with the local police who are probably in the pockets of the gangs I think that is why they speak with such confidence

Welcome to a BANANA REPUBLIC where stories like this are a norm lafa elikamJokwane kaNdaba

Drugs!!! Turning innocent kids to fools

Kusazonyiwa mos. 😮

Wow Interesting indeed..

MbuyiseniNdlozi Do these Mickey mouse fellows know that El Chapo Guzman started his life plus 30yrs last Friday in USA Colorado Supermax Prison. Have these guys seen how Rodavan Krejcir looks right now?

Maybe some confrontation with the army is what they want

Competent gangsters, maybe they can do a better job than the MYANC

I repeat, these gangs were allowed to fester....They've organised weapons including ammunition. Sad things is, poor defenseless community is caught up in the cross fire.....These are the fruits of democracy, the law abiding citizens and deadly criminals shares equal rights.

The law is on their side. Those soldiers will end up being the ones who gets arrested if they use what IPID often term 'excessive force' 😏

MbuyiseniNdlozi Some people are suicidal we see 🤔

They will be touched if that's what they want.

Why didn’t the journalist who wrote this story report their source to cops.

I smell a friendly match btw the army and the gangs🤣

This is scary.

🤦🏽‍♀️ get rid of the gangsters at the top...then you’ll be able to get rid of the ones at the bottom. Some of these gang members are working as lawyers/judge/legal business owners...even the article says it all

Banna, what operations?

Problem is law shoot at Police officers supposed you get killed same time

Next thing we'll hear is the army was disarmed by the gang members cos they're so bold already

Yikes!

Lol gawujonge pearly_panash

MbuyiseniNdlozi Army should have no business dealing with social issues, Here are the result of the 1994 comprised.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Yhoo sisezobulawa moc ngabanqevu kweliKapa🙈🙈🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

MbuyiseniNdlozi The military deployment was nonsense from the beginning. It's actual intent has nothing to do with fighting crime rather normalising rule by the gun.

MbuyiseniNdlozi But army is brutal

MbuyiseniNdlozi Will this country ever be normal again?

MbuyiseniNdlozi They should deploy the Zimbabwean National Army

MbuyiseniNdlozi So scary

MbuyiseniNdlozi It really isn't safe for the citizens of Cape Flats

MbuyiseniNdlozi Yooo am scared in My side

Am_Blujay We'll see about that.

Lol, what a joke. If pushed.. The army won't hesitate to kill them, they are well equipped. Blow up the skulls that are clogged with cocaine.

Crime is out of control minister it was ignored for a long time to take back the streets is gonna take time
