Western Cape is in the midst of a clampdown on violent crime, particularly gang and drug violence in the Cape Flats. The South African National Defence Force has been roped-in to help the police to deal with gangs. While some have welcome the presence of the army in the streets, others have slammed the move, saying it could make the situation worse. Well, one of the areas that appears to be getting on top of gang and drug violence is Westbury here in Johannesburg. Residents in the area took to the streets last year, urging police to tackle gangsterism and drug abuse in the community. To talk about some of the interventions in Westbury, I'm joined in the studio by two members of the Westbury Community, Shahiem Ismail and Pastor Emeleo Du Plessis.
