South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world and drugs and gun crime fuel the cycle of violence in the Cape Flats, an area notorious for gangs. But technology is now being used to allow the police to intervene as soon as a gunshot is heard. Nomsa Maseko reports from Cape Town.

As a man who lives in south Africa and used to live in cape town I bless the people
There are hotspots where shooting Often happens. If the police just patrol the those areas and lock up the people who sell the drugs then it's a start instead of shot spotter costing millions to tell you where they just shot a few rounds. Also areas like Hanover Park with so much gang violence don't have a police station instead they need to call to Phillippi where people don't understand the ones calling in due to not really being from Cape town and only understand Xhosa and slight English. Stop being scared of these drug lords running the gangs, do what pagad did and defend yourself if necessary.

Poor S. Africa. Such a beautiful country๐ข
When the greedy stop putting money before human life all this will cease to exist. Man is at a loss.
Africans(Carthage) was the the nation to colonize till they met the romans and the table got turned dont do shit you dont want to happen to yourself mfers we will be using that "Neklis" we are being taught by you mfers
So sad for the honest, non-violent people who are "prisoners" in those hell holes.
In all these gang wars, you will never hear the leader had been shot. Itโs always the soldiers that dies…
Useless police and failed judiciary not forgetting fancy prison service.
RIP to the homeowner who was shot dead ๐
You all are broke and then want to call yourselves gang members. what you all need to do, is to build up your community and make some money. stupid people do stupid things.
This country is messed up, how did we get here?๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐
Wow poor boy is paralyzed and the ex gang member is paralyzed from the waist down . Thatโs terrible. If your going to be a gang member/drug dealer at least try to make your life better and donโt go around killing innocent people. This is heartbreaking. How are they getting guns ?I hear Africa is struggling to even get food so how on earth do these guys purchase a gun

Nothing has changed, people are murdered in the flats. White farmers and their children are brutally raped and murdered whilst the world looks away. South Africa is DONE!
