There were more than 27,000 murders last year. With trust in the police falling, Africa Eye reporter Ayanda Charlie follows two volunteer patrol units determined to protect their communities.

She meets a team of Afrikaans farmers in the town of Brits near Pretoria - and also with a unit in Diepsloot, a township of more than 300,000 people.
