Soldiers have now arrived in Westbury in Johanesburg. They were in Eldorado Park and Riverlea earlier.
This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced during his State of the Nation Address last month that the military will be deployed in areas riddled by gang violence and illegal mining activities, to support the police.

They must search house to house ,then they will get illegal things.

Useless police must be doing this , how come ur a cop for 20 years u never arrest any serious criminal except drink and drive yamasimba
These soldiers must also be diployed in Jules that place is not safe at all, people are being killed each and every weekend if they can launch an operation allot of unlicensed firearms can be found there.
Boots on the ground yes, are they going to yield the required results or the situation will still be the same immediately after they leave the area
.
I wish they can be there the next five years π
People are not getting the bigger picture,this could possibly lead to martial law.
I just hope that they come to work not to take tjotjo to the criminals!!
Don't forget newclare too please
They can eradicate crime when u convert them into TRT n B Cele 1ns showed us n Ranko knows this. So with this temporary deployment he is campaigning for the local elections. He will fool those hu r blind to politics of SA.

Ten points for finding a temporary solution. The government needs to advise South Africans how they plan to implement a permanent solution. If they can't, then this just becomes another election campaign to show they doing something.
SA DOESNT HAVE A ANTI DRUG UNIT TO FIGHT THE DRUG CARTELS IN SA,UNDERCOVER AGENTS TO FIGHT THE DRUG PROBLEM ,ANΜY UNIT UNDER SAPS WILL BE A FAILURE…
They need to go to Reiger Park
At least it gives them something to do except laying the whole day in the bungalows.

The police are bigger criminals than the criminals
