# Cape Crime Crisis Coalition chairperson Llewellyn Macmaster says gang violence in Cape Town has escalated since the deployment of the South African Defence Force in the Western Cape. It is alleged that more than 30 people have been killed in gang-related shootings since the deployment. He raised concerns that the military presence has not stopped ongoing violence in affected communities. He calls for longer-term, community-driven solutions beyond military deployment.
