The headline of this News24 article is bizarre. It frames it as though Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis was almost voted out in a motion of no confidence whereas the margin against the motion was massive and made the motion seem frivolous. news24.com/southafrica/ne…

Our latest issue of the Western Cape Gang Monitor was just published, and I'm very excited to talk about some of the analysis we did here on gang dynamics in the Western Cape. globalinitiative.net/analysis/weste…

I’m just curious at what point will commentators begin to raise the phenomenal growth of our illicit economy (not to be confused with the informal economy), and how that’s busy consuming and pushing out the licit economy at the rate of knots. 🙏

Gangs in the Western Cape are recruiting children for various reasons. One is that they are not as readily suspected by the police or other gangsters. Gangs are actively disrupting schooling and extracurricular activities because these are alternatives to gang life.
