Gangsterism in South Africa

Today’s episode will focus on the ongoing gang violence that has bedeviled colored communities in Gauteng. Our secondary focus will be the recent upsurge of gang violence that has engulfed Orange Farm, a sprawling township in the south of Johannesburg. Gang violence and crime is often associated with colored communities such as Eldorado Park, Westbury and Toekomsrus. Over the years different gangs have operated on the streets of these communities. This has made living a normal life in these communities almost impossible. Daily tasks such as going to school and work have become high risk activities. Recently Orange Farm has seen groups of blood thirsty young men roaming the streets. This has resulted in countless families losing young men.
