FOLLOWING another weekend of deadly shootings, City of Cape Town Mayco member for Safety and Security JP Smith has called on mense to in gang hotspots to make their stemme dik.

Using the hi-tech Shotspotter system, the City’s law enforcement agencies are able to track and pinpoint the exact location where shots are fired.

They have placed the system in what they believe to be the hardest-hit gang-infested areas - like Nyanga, Hanover Park, Manenberg, and Lavender Hill.

And Smith reported that while there have been over 350 incidents of gun violence over the last 30 days, some of it is not being reported by these communities.
