The Sunday, 26 April episode of Carte Blanche investigates the fast decline of a once-thriving mining group on the West Rand, now gripped by vandalism, escalating crime and violent turf wars linked to zama zama miners.
The programme reveals a group residing in concern, marked by a brazen daylight execution, the ambush of a neighborhood farmer whose house was later set alight, and residents pressured to take shelter as gun battles erupt within the streets.
As lawlessness tightens its grip, one decided group chief is mobilising residents to withstand the violence and reclaim their neighbourhood, however questions stay over whether or not these efforts can succeed towards deeply entrenched legal networks.
