Yeeeeah, I know people who stayed in surrounding townships and often times they'd tell me they'd be scared to go home.

I have a friend who lives in Manenberg (also gang infested area in Cape Town), he's lived there all his life. Last year he had all his teeth broken by a gang.

I don't think you understand what dangerous is. You think you do, but you don't. These are places that ambulances, police and fire trucks don't dare go into for fear of having their vehicles set alight and being killed.

Life has no value in these places.
