Cape Town - The lockdown had more of an impact on crime than the pandemic with Kraaifontein and Manenberg becoming epicentres of a resurgence in gang warfare.
Experts agree that the lockdown had an effect on crime in South Africa.
Manager of the crime and justice information hub at the Institute for Security Studies, Lizette Lancaster, said the lockdown had more of an impact than the pandemic itself.

The Cape Flats and coloured people live in a state of constant depression
By Opinion
Cape Flats communities deserve better
By any international measure, I live in a war zone. This weekend, over a dozen people were gunned down. It s my normal. That the Cape Flats and the coloured people in general live in a state of constant depression is a given. That every violent death we suffer can reasonably be blamed on the ANC isn t in question.
We need more police officers, but at the rate they are dying that won t happen any time soon. In any civilized country in the world, the death of a cop is met with the national flag flying at half-mast. Itâs the ultimate sign of respect, of mourning. That it doesn t happen here tells me that officers killed in the line of duty aren t accorded the respect deserved. It tells me that they aren t mourned by this state.
