Cape Town - Gang lords in South Africa could in future be monitored from above - by drones.
A tech savvy national intervention to intensify the squeeze on gangsterism is in the pipeline, but such intense monitoring can only be implemented if police agree with the relevant politicians.
Drones are more likely to be used by police for crowd control purposes.
However, there are drastic plans in place to try and crack down on gangsterism, which has become a countrywide problem.
Gang violence has recently surged in the Western Cape particularly. A 7-year-old boy was shot on Sunday, September 3, in one of the latest incidents involving children.
National plan
On Friday Deputy Police Minister Bongani Mkongi is set to visit the Cape Flats - areas outside of the Cape Town city centre which have been bearing the brunt of gang violence.
A national anti-gangsterism strategy was approved by Cabinet in February 2017.
