South Africa violence: Army deployment in Cape Town extended
The South African army has been ordered to stay for an extra three months in parts of Cape Town suffering gang violence.
Troops have backed police in an area notorious for drug gangs since last month.
But people living there say the military’s presence has not really helped.
Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reports from Cape Town.

Tomorrow they will tell us Nigerians are the problem. South African are inhuman and quickly look for who to blame for their woo
The ANC government isnt doing enough. The death rate increased with army presence. I suspect governemnt officials are the drug suppliers
If the DA can truly convince the south african people they wont bring back apartheid while bringing conservative policies to the table then south africa might get back on track. A true democracy has periodic changes in government and i think south Africa is in need of one in 2024
Im american indian but i have some family in SA who talk about carrying machine guns in order to protect themselves from being shot and robbed. I don’t know much about the conflict however I really wish for a peaceful solution.
Brazil is an example of that? Is it a joke?
This guy doesn’t know our reality… Shame on him…
This is all a joke.
South Africans are quick to blame Somalis, Nigerians and Zimbabwe’s but never themselves!
al jazeera news is not be be believed. !
I wonder who the government will blame for this violence.
Whites: There’s a genocide on white farmers.
GTFO….
No Imagrents from there are welcome here.
The drug lords in south african police
Where are those Nigerian stupid people and lazy only people How are smart are just EFF leader and their member .
I live in cape town
Lol, how is this different from Chicago?
They all should adopt Islam for peace right?
Go back to your countries
Thought they said Nigerians are their problem? animal country.
This country has no peace due to failed government in power and lazy people among the masses
See how stupid that female soldier looked with her Kpot sitting gangster??? Women need to stick to what they do best; having kids and cooking! Not playing soldier.
Government corruption
South Africa is looking more like Detroit and Chicago by the day.
Whites! Living in africa?…i mean i know blacks living in white countries,coming from africa and settling with whites!
South Africa they say other people from Africans countries who are in South Africa are the ones killing South Africans, crazy people. Shame on this people
My fellow SA citizens I am complaining 2day just like our fellow black African Americans in the US that after apartheid 25yrs on.
Various settlements like Cape Town our government should have been broken them up to allow for better integration racism is at an all time high.
It’s not just violence but what the apartheid regime did in having 4 race classes at 4 different locations was and still is Pure evil at its greatest all because of their so called religion.
I understand white and black at one side ok but for us in their eyes were all black the British know that best.
So I have also suggested to government instead of deploying troops to our own blood and wasting tax payers money why don’t we just relocate all of these people causing trouble all over the country,
and have 20 of them per area that will sort them
South Africa has been in decline for decades. Army patrolling Cape town streets… it’s just another step in this process. It’s sad that these once proud countries are slowly turning into this.
Surprise!!! HUMANS ARE GARBAGE…. yet another daily reminder
Nelson Mandela would be so proud 😌
Aww can’t blame the white man for this one just proves wherever they are gang guns drugs follows
Sad, terrible reality.
Cut their source of revenue
End the war on drugs
Only 90 murders a year?!
They ain’t got nothing on Brazil and Mexico
South Africa was better under Aparthied
the left ruined SA walked away and kept quite about it
This is reallt disappointing. I thought the soldiers would finish gansters once and for all.
Maybe you should public Hang Criminals.
And then the DA think they can run the country but are failing to take care of gang wars.What a bunch of imbeciles.
This better than NOTHING…just worried about the LONG TERM! The first weekend the murder rate went down from 40 something to 20 something per weekend! We must ALL work together to STOP this CANCER in South African SOCIETY!
Another failed African state, this is a pretty strong trend. Pity that. Can’t blame the white man forever.
Now who are you going to blame ? The ghost . Lol 🤣 🤣🤣. God bless this country 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Where are the men of the town?
S. Africa here you are again
Now S. Africa is like every other African country. They will be cutting off hands and feet soon. After Mandela EVERY politician has been involved in graft and corruption just like EVERY African country. Much like Chicago and Detroit. What was murder rate, and crime rate during apartheid? Not, not advocating that, just curious and comparing. In just another few years it will be another sewer pit. Dont invest in Africa, they do not and will not change. Leave them to their behavior.
