Army vs Gangs - Time for South African Govt to Make the Call?

The Democratic Alliance has led a march from Nyanga to Manenberg, making what the official opposition party says is their 14th call to the national government to send in the army to deal with gangsterism, drugs and violence in the Cape Flats.

Democratic Alliance supporters bear signs saying 'The ANC is Killing Us' at the #SendTheArmyNow march in Cape Town.

"One of the cash heist kingpins who was recently arrested was not only an ANC employee at Luthuli House, but also an elected ANC branch secretary," said Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane.
