Inside South Africas City Without Law: Johannesburgs Gang Crisis  @JavaDiscover
Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In Johannesburg, violence is omnipresent. With twenty murders a day, South Africa's largest city lives to the rhythm of feuds between rival gangs that rule the slums and poverty. Take Diepsloot, in the north of the city, where there are sixteen murders per month, two toilets and one water tap for 200,000 inhabitants. The gang Die Hard Boys loots to buy heroin... Since the police no longer patrol these neighbourhoods, citizen militias are taking justice into their own hands, exacerbating the situation in a country where firearms are available for a few hundred euros.

This documentary was produced by Keep Shooting and directed by Guillaume Martin and Grégoire Deniau. It was first released in 2014.
