Homegrown and global criminals operate in South Africa; sometimes where we least expect it. Their actions are bolstered – and our rights further trampled – when corrupt state officials collude with them. Here we look at the various ways criminals manage to infiltrate parts of the state – from the police service to the housing sector. Focus will also be on the different criminals, suspects, and accused who operate in South Africa, dragging organised crime and violence towards our doorsteps. This bridges gaps between areas ranging from gang strongholds and business hubs to upmarket suburbs. The lecture will point to how organised crime is woven into our daily lives.
