Gang violence - a predictable consequence of prohibition - has exploded onto the Cape Flats. The rise in violence has coincided with a crack down on illicit drugs by police. (from IOL)
Twenty-five people died in gang violence across Cape Town in the past two months, say police, as in-fighting and new gangs trying to establish themselves in the drug trade take their toll.
Police have confirmed that, since September, eight people have been murdered in Athlone, eight in Elsies River, four in Bishop Lavis, two in Mitchell's Plain, two in Delft and one in Philippi.
