# Deputy president Paul Mashatile says the success of Operation Prosper depends on intelligence-led policing and stronger cooperation from communities to help identify gang crime perpetrators. He was speaking during a visit to gang-affected areas on the Cape Flats, including Mitchells Plain, Lentegeur and Gugulethu, where violent shootings continue despite a military deployment. Mashatile says the government wants to assess the situation on the ground and strengthen efforts to curb gang violence:
