Wentworth grippled by gang violence

Let’s take you to the community of Wentworth, south of Durban, an area gripped by gang violence. Community members say they are in harm's way as gun battles happen frequently. The lack of community safety and overcrowding in the area has left many disillusioned about voting.
Newzroom Afrika’s Karinda Jagmohan has the story.

Same dilapitated conditions, same cries all round the country. Same parties, same grand slogans & promises - no change.
Ppl must start their own parties otherwise they are doomed. Race grand standing is an illusion which won't change ppl's lives.

shame, these people had the opportunities to better themselves in the 1980's and 90's, they still have the opportunities today.... makes you think if they human after all, because a dog aren't so stupid....

I worked for 11 years in Wentworth and my colleagues would get attacked and robbed by locals because they said we stole their jobs. I am blessed to have survived those years as an outsider without a single encounter of danger. Unemployment, abundance in drugs, alcohol abuse, toxic environments have led to a boiling pot in Wentworth that has spilled over to recruiting youngsters into gangs. Deal with the economy and see a change all over. Cops and soldiers wont change that people want to make a living by all means

It's so sad😪

It's really sad that some of the richest people in these cities, states and Countries do very little to help the less fortunate but a given taxbreaks and in some cases government funds. This is an easy fix, deploy the Military and install cameras to monitor drug and gang infested areas.

Poverty leads to crime. If we deal with employment no one would want to risk their lives for something they could get legally

People have money for alcohol but nothing else….

I rather die than live like this.
This world is messed up it's like we in hell already.
Jobs are also so hard to get especially if you don't have connection.
