Approval and concern: SANDF deployment to Cape Flats gets mixed responses

Deploying sandf into a residential community is the most harmful lazy thing that could have been done

What is it that they failed on and they believe SANDF will be suitable for that, killing ? Which brings us back to my concern when you deploy people who are trained for war fare you are not policing but going to war.

How is #SANDF going to solve systemic issues like that of economic marginalisation, dispossession, poverty, landlessness & displacement? #CapeFlats

#CountryDuty

SAPS & SANDF will be deployed on the Cape Flats from the early hours of tomorrow!

Finally #CapeFlats residents will be heard, seen and protected!

When SANDF starts killing civilians, the same people who were demanding their deployment will be making noise. Where’s Cele’s amabherethe? https://t.co/KF7DqJv3xA

Very sad however I still maintain that deploying SANDF is a bad move where as we have units like TRT who I believe their mandate falls within the scope of fighting stopping gangsterism, gang violence and narcotics.

We need to bear in mind SANDF is not trained on policing but military war fare hence my "mandate" question. Let's wait, see and hope for the best.
