Imagine waking up to soldiers patrolling your neighborhood. That’s the reality some South Africans will face over the next year as more than 2000 troops are deployed to tackle gang violence and illegal mining in five provinces. This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced in his State Of The Nation address last month that organized crime is "the most immediate threat to our democracy." The move has brought relief for some communities, but a security researcher from ISS Pretoria warns that it won’t fix the root causes of crime in the country.
