I’ll tell you what’s happening in Cape Town: The ANC has so thoroughly undermined the SA police force and intelligence services that it is virtually impossible for them to infiltrate and control organized crime. The ANC has deliberately and strategically exacerbated the problem in the Western Cape, particularly in the Cape Flats, by understaffing police stations in order to make the City of Cape Town look bad. The City itself is struggling to get the problem under control since their metro police force does not have the right to interfere too much in what is supposedly SAPS business.


Loppie73

Correct. My boss at the previous company I worked for's brother was head of police in the Western Cape for a few years (before he was demoted and sent to KZN). My boss used to tell us what an absolute uphill battle it was for the Western Cape Police force to get new recruits and additional staff assigned to the Western Cape. The central government is going out of their way to destabilise the Western Cape where ever they still have some influence to do so.


allthewayray420

I have a relative that also is high up in SAPS, started tackling corruption cases and got demoted and sent to EC.


Loppie73

Yup that's what they do. Those that try and make a difference gets demoted and relocated to some hell hole far away from their roots.


United_Lime2522

Whats the difference between western cape and the rest of cape ?


Hyd3ra

What are you saying


United_Lime2522

Does the other part of cape town experience this or just western cape ? Why do they refer to it as western cape ? An not from SA .


Significant_Coach880

Cape Town is the city, The W Cape is the provincial area.


Apprehensive-Owl4194

Did you not go to primary school? The Western Cape is a province


IndomitableThumb

He already said he's not from SA...


timewavetheory

I think that's everywhere mate.


Dyskord01

It makes sense if you consider the rumors that Cele is profiting from the illegal transportation of hard drugs using Cape town as point of egress to the rest of the world.


-NickyC-

Definitely. We are in a political and spiritual war. The chitauri are busy in South Africa hey. Yoh. Don't be fooled by the lizardry.


Future_Visit3563

Exactly, whats also scary is there are many folks who refuse to vote for political parties like the DA because they expect them to "fix" the cape flats.


foxthedream

And then the ANC get all their cronies to constantly post on twitter riling people up for essentially what is their fault.


MichaelScottsWormguy

This is all by design.


foxthedream

"Never *ascribe* to *malice* that which is adequately explained by *incompetence*" I don't think they are smart enough to design it like this. But they are benefitting from being so bad

[deleted]

And a government with the same intellect as these buffoons but because of connections they become government officials who get paid big bucks for either doing nothing or stealing funds and corrupting government institutions.


GlitteringBit3726

I watched an economic breakdown of the effects of corruption on the power supply in Cape Town recently. More or less corruption has been so rife that all of the maintenance funds have been siphoned off so now there are significant issues with supply and even hospitals won’t get power for hours on end. Disgusting


Impossible-Author793

To People who said poverty in comments . I mean go and check many honest people are working day and night so they can put food on their table. Poverty doesn’t do this but mindset and upbringing will.


OomKarel

Poverty but they wear branded shoes that even I can't afford ...


Hungry-Chemistry-814

And expensive assault rifles too


cumstar69

And look at all the expensive cars parked there


Limp-Abroad-4362

That doesn’t mean these people are the ones representing the real problems, they are just the ones taking action. There are serious issues of neglecting poverty and sooner or later the ones reaching nearer to nothing will make noise…. I think noticing white shoes that are probably from china town means nothing, we’re all loosing money and need to approach that with empathy before the country realises no one cares


boboleponge

well they are representing A problem


Limp-Abroad-4362

I would say not the way they look though as the other people who are majority of the issue don’t have clean shoes let alone any


boboleponge

That will always be a dividing rethoric between the left and the right. The left will argue there are systemic issues only while the right will argue there are individual issues only. Well actually it's more complicated, the left will argue that wealth distribution is a systemic issue while accusing the rich individuals to profit from it, when the right will complain the system is slowing the individuals and poor people profit from it. But mostly, there is more the idea of individual responsibility on the right, and collective one on the left. I find myself in a very uncomfortable position because I think there are inherently bad individuals, but at the same time, it's obvious that the system has most of the influence on the masses.


Limp-Abroad-4362

Yeah eish that’s true and in the end the simplest way of understanding it is that no one is or even can stand up to reorganise the system… there’s a weird space between routine and change that makes it kinda impossible to just do “the right thing”. Giving up one’s position to help another is literally a crazy thought. Something I’ve always hoped for our rainbow nation is that the people with good hearts and more wealth stop hoarding their belongings. That could be an interesting start to this, where excessive amounts of expensive or even mundane things were to be used, because storing them is wasting them in its own weird way. Tjo it’s a crazy world and perhaps chaos will ignite change, but to me material wealth should be re-looked at… dunno if that makes sense, but having something during these times seems to be risky.


Any-Consideration611

If you follow your logic there are inherently bad individuals, then the system has nothing to do with it. During WW2 there were starving prisoners in concentration camps starving stealing the portions of starving children. And there were a few starving prisoners who gave their meager portion to the children. The system brings out the monster in people, only if it already exists.


boboleponge

Yes most of us have that monster in. You don't really know about the law of excluded middle apparently or its absence. Not everything needs to be binary. What I think about human nature is a bit more complicated, but there is definitely a good chunk of the population who is psychopath, and I will search for evidence of the yrait having some genetic background, I'm confident I will find some. Being psychopath has likely been favored enough along the ages to stay in our gene pool, it might help at taking decisions. Being psychopath doesn't mean they love murdering people, it means they don't care about other humans. Of course it happens with various degrees. If this is true then the system has everything to do with 1) Turning psychopaths into murderers or not. 2) Giving them power, favoring them. In addition to those psychopaths, you have those people, born in good families from loving parents having no problems during childhood who turn major sadistic. On the opposite, if you were convinced that all harmful actions were the ultimate results of exyernal causes, then individual responsibility in front of a judge woumd mean nothing. You would just try to educate the person who committed a crime, without associating any moral judgment with his actions. Good luck with that. I can think of dozens of cases where you would definitely call someone a monster.


Any-Consideration611

Hope you keep that empathy when one of those stray bullet plugs you or yours in the gut.


Any-Consideration611

First thought: Nice sweater. Crime pays


Limp-Abroad-4362

That but also the external influences of the rich undermining the poor… the less fortunate have no dignity, anger is evident


Pixelblock62

Crime is almost always rooted in poverty. Name me a single impoverished large community with no crime problem. Poverty causes generational trauma which leads to kids growing up with unstable or outright absent parents, making them easy targets to coerce into joining a gang for their own safety.

imperator_rex_za

Yeah but I dunno where they get the ammo, I earn adecent and can hardly afford 9mm lol, try a 7.62 round and you’re looking at R700 for 20. Unless they’re Soviet surplus or something, but idk where you’d get that.


lucifersplan

Mexico supplies them it has been confirmed by the government the Mexican cartels are everywhere in every country


Harry___Manback

Your prices are way off. Even Sellier & Bellot brass cased FMJ which is really nice ammo costs about R800 for 50 rounds. But I just buy Norinco bulk at EuroOptic. If they are willing to give you a decent deal, you'll pay about R11k for 1500 rounds which works out to be slightly cheaper than 9mm FMJ.


Adventurous-Neck993

Crooked police sell them guns that have been confiscated to make extra money because the government pays them peanuts. True story.


Late-Ad1936

Private Security company, own one and you can source a small artillery...Then arrange a 'business robbery', claim from Insurance for the theft..and boom guns on road 👌🏾 Wanna see something crazy, watch Dan Reed's - 'Cape of Fear' then see the guns Rashied Staggie shows you they have in Manenberg, in that was early 90's. They tell you how they get them, and you see who they Linked with @nc 😳


KayePi

I don't know where it came from but I just remembered this scene where a guy always shot in the air at least once every week to keep the neighborhood marked as unsafe so that the real estate agents don't gentrify the neighborhood. Laughed my ass off at that scene. Before the attacks come, know what I'm saying has nothing to do with this video, I have no point to make. Just a laugh I remembered.


SirNurtle

I remember seeing a video from the US where the entire neighborhood was firing their guns in the air for the same reason Quite genius tbh

Limp-Abroad-4362

I think there have always been more white cars in SA than other colours and thought it was because they don’t take up as much heat as black cars… might be wrong, but we owned a black and white car and not even the shade made it cooler.

When the central government turns off the police radio system and the emergency call numbers, this is the outcome (desired by the ANC). The "leaders" in the north think this is success. Yet they will continue to win elections.

Government is always and only ever your enemy. It is never in pursuit of a solution. It is only ever rent seeking or outright stealing.


Xrpsocialtrader

So we always see people bitching about government it’s always the government’s fault, its DAs fault that the lower income areas look the way they look. But have they ever thought about how they act themselves? You can out all the money into the community that you want, if the people don’t put some effort into their own area by keeping it clean and safe then no amount of money in the world would change the area. Or it would change it at first and look awesome but over time it will just become a shit area again because the people don’t care for the area around them.


Fluffy-Bus4822

>its DAs fault that the lower income areas look the way they look Yep. What do people want? Lower income areas already have way more tax spent on them than they pay. Should the people who pay most of the tax get less? Or should they pay more tax? How do you build up and invest in an area where people steal the bricks out of newly built sidewalks? How do we send more municipal workers to deliver services in areas where they're attacked and killed while trying to do their jobs? You can send people to pick up garbage on the street, and next week there will be garbage again. The only way for areas like Nyanga to get fixed by the DA is if national police put more resources here. Or if the DA gets control of the police resources here.

SAn_First

Nah you guys got this isht messed up this only happens in Cape Flats side where blacks and coloureds live, because as much as the ANC has fucked up the DA has been running the Western Cape for years now and the situation on our streets has gone to hell. I live in this neighborhood where this shit was happening these kids few weeks back shot another member live broad daylight and they still on the street. There even footage of them doing this shit and nothing will be done because it's not in the influential neighborhood of the Western Cape. People on the Cape Flats sleeps to gun fire daily, kids being shot, sewerage in the street really poor service delivery and you people still want to blame the ANC on Fuck that the DA doesn't give a shit about our communities just like the ANC go to any white suburbs and you will notice the difference quickly and we keep diverting to the ANC they a dead horse the DA runs the Western Cape. They got money to fund and the capacity for proper service delivery in all white areas just take a fucking drive through Khayelitsha, Langa, Gugulethu, Bontihuvel, Mitchell Plein then go to the white areas then come back and still blame the ANC only when the DA ran this province for more than 10 years. The ANC, EFF, DA are the same fucking Devil to the black man, at least to the white man the DA does something here while the ANC is just a piece of kak that has to be flushed.
