Answer 1

The Apartheid government in my province turned a blind eye to the formation of various gangs in Cape Town in the early 1950’s which grew exponentially over the decades terrozing local communities.

These gangs(now with links to international organised crime groups)now have thousands of gang members.

Gang members are often dropped by car in the early hours of the morning by car in middle class neighborhoods to rob targeted homes.
