In the town of Despatch in the Eastern Cape, residents sleep with one eye open. On most nights, brazen robbers wielding pangas and guns stalk their streets, breaking in and terrorising the community in their homes. But are these just opportunistic criminals or are they recruits from gangs entrenched in Gqeberha’s inner city? From drug dealing to gun smuggling, the biggest city in the Eastern Cape has long been wracked by criminal enterprises vying for turf. Now, similarly violent operators are making the rural outskirts their stronghold. As residents and private security companies fight back, Carte Blanche investigates why this community has become such an easy target.

Please do a research on the cape town, township gangs who have big rifles like your Ak47 and R4....how do they get those guns
@@wandilebartman the police sell it to them.
@@paullombard00 yho it's tough out there bruh, you should see those guns they have...CPT police are corrupt to the core mos
This country needs to do what El Salvador has done to get rid of their gangs. A two month state of emergency with the help of private security, military and SAPS.
But how when the cops are a squad with the criminals
@@mphomoema8405 you don’t think they had the same problem in El Salvador? Then cops go into prison with the crooks. Basic meals of rice and beans everyday. Warehouse style prisons. Enough is enough.
@@joshuaspagnoletti a corrupt government expected to arrest themselves and friends?
@@joshuaspagnoletti
You're so right, but this corrupt government is in bed with the criminals including law enforcement. Look at who's behind the majority of CIT robberies. So they will never implement a state of emergency whatsoever to curb criminality, because it would be of no benefit to them and their very deep pockets! They may only declare a state of emergency when there's major civil unrest, because that will not profit them.
I wonder why TH-cam deleted my reply!
The issue with South Africa law is that Criminals are protected, when you defend your self in your own home. You are the now who is going behind bars. It is time our laws change to have a better Country like other countries
It's the constitution.
They have more rights than the police
People also don't read the law, and understand the right to life and self defense. In a nation with 76 murders a day, surely everyone should be making the legal effort to be armed and trained?
@@clinthufkie3242
A constitution that protects criminals more. Law abiding citizens appear to have no rights or recourse to protection, despite our corrupt government stating we have one of the best constitutions in the world. I certainly don't believe that! Just my opinion.
The police are the criminals
The biggest gangs in the country sit in Parliament, their runners wear blue uniforms. If you thought ESKOM was a big issue; then wait until you find out about the MASSIVE problem we have with CHILD TRAFFICKING in this country... The DSD, social workers, judiciary, lawyers, saps, home affairs, NGO''s... all involved... all the way up to Parliament. Why do they not act on the issue? They're making too much money off of it, that's why!
Mafia
Source?
I am not insane after all. The towns have put up many walls and gates from the last 10 years. I personally have seen this security change from the shopping complexes. Then, I knew that the town has changed. No more beach walks at night. It's sad that crime took away the peace and harmony of the town.
So so sad indeed we are prisoners in our own homes.
Thanks Carte Blanche and team
This Channel must be at least an Hour long
True
You mean "this episode"?
Each episode is an hour
You mean the episode bro?
Please edit this comment, my ocd is wylin'
South Africa desperately needs a 2nd amendment. Too easy for criminals to get guns and too hard for law-abiding citizens.
the only way to fix this country and get rid of the ANC is to have people use their TAX Income number to register to vote and not their ID numbers. We have a total of 27 Million people living off grants in this country, but only 7 million people pay tax..... that alone explains the whole situation
Sad part these masses just can’t comprehend how bad things are.
Great idea!!
So only certain people have rights then?
ANC has nothing to do with this madness of your communities.... fix your communities and stop playing blaming games. Even here in Cape town under DA led government gangsterism is worse
@@andreaorsmond6124yes only certain people to have the right to vote... If you don't pay income tax why should you have a right to vote??
The past Years we 've seen many contents & learned a lot still we see more Honestly CARTE BLANCHE Underrated in Africa🤞🤞🤞👏👏👏👏👏❤❤😊😊😊😊
I'm from despatch and in my street alone there's been 8 breakins in the past year. It's bad very bad. Despatch was a quiet town with no problems. They broke into our house at least 4 times we've got footage to prove it
And you can't shoot them or you go to jail
Have been living here for 40+ years...you could sleep with your doors open here...the last 2 years things spiraled out of control...my dog got poisoned 3 weeks ago...so now I'm waiting...in the apartheid here my parents did not care where and what I was doing as long as I was back before dark
@@dn822why don't the neighbours form a group and patrol?
@@optimumoptimum5091 we do
@@dn822are you advocating for the return of apartheid? Just want to be clear
This was incredibly chilling. Major props to the saps commissioner though. There was no ducking and diving. I felt he was sincerely distressed by the crime his team is trying to deal with.
Viva ANC! Viva tribalism...
Lol
But the government changed the name of Port Elizabeth so that should've fixed all the town's problems?
Exactly, they spent all that money on a name change where in stead that money could have gone into additional security.
I don't think it takes a significant amount of money to change a city name
@@theblackgods4699 Correction - it costs a lot of money to change a cities name! Think airports, roads, maps… but hey, it’s high on the priority list of ‘this’ government and they will only be happy when there is not one single name anyone recognises.
@theblackgods4699 it cost millions to do a name change
ANC is fighting crime by changing names. What a useless government we have.
There's no police visibility at all. They are driving up and down shopping with their families and sitting in their police vehicles on their phones, hardly aware of their surroundings. They became this lazy since covid. They are useless
Nobody is in the police force.. To do police work.. They are there to get a salary.. That's it!
Too much pressure. We can't sleep.......what the commissioner said is so sad
We need our own vigilante groups in our neighborhoods.
exactly what our neighbourhood has done. if you break into a house in our area. you are going to end up in the hospital . We have had enough
Need men to stand up and be men again
Sign me up,im 35 yr old colord guy
In the township areas, we have what we call the Structure. They literally burn whoever does bad
This is why they are targeting the suburbs now, because yall are not so united. Literally relying on Security systems that are useless now.
@@CarlBurgess-zk3gn what’s you being colored got to do with anything?? Genuinely curious
It's bad, I live in Kariega which is a town close to Despatch and they've broke into our house twice and we have cameras as well.
The worst part is it is considered illegal to defend yourself. You will be in big big trouble with the law if you defend yourself with force.
The ordinary, honest man knows what he has to do in this situation but its gonna turn him into a monster.
"This is the way"
Moved here August 2023. Have only seen 2 police vans on the road since then. Also called more than 2 stations numerous times after 9AM, no answer. There are so many break ins a week. In almost every suburb every night, most nights. We have meetings and patrol shifts at night. While we patrol there are breakins around the block.
It seems like here the community depends on each other. So you just lock your doors at all times. But I still like it here and there are crimes everywhere so, we enjoy ourselves but whilst being vigilant.
The problem in SA is we the residents often know who the thieves are but we prefer to keep quiet, and then act shocked when this happens
It's our very own bundles of joy, boyfriends, uncles, fathers and brothers! I cannot imagine protecting someone causing such hurt in a community.
Ranks, Ranks, Generals,Brigadiers to much ranks and zero police on the streets😎
100%. Police parliamentary committee said there are more than 800 generals and brigadiers now. Insane!
Its like cubscouts but instead of an adult rewarding them with prestige for actions taken its now the kids running the show and just giving them selves badges to feel important. We handed this nation over to children.
They are very unafraid of Prison. In fact, they feel protected in prison. The constitution needs to drastically change. That's it.
Yeah most are Kings because they are nommer.
I say go El Salvador’s route.
Blaming apartheid or inequality or unemployment is showing the pure ignorance of the people, sure these people see people who live nice lives because they work for what they have and they want the material things as well, but the majority of them don’t want to work for those things. They want instant gratification and taking what others worked for provides that. Even if there was enough jobs for every single person in this country, there will always be those who would rather take the risk of enriching themselves through criminal activity than to work for a monthly salary. How can we expect people to accept that committing crimes is wrong when government and the people we are supposed to look up to appear to be the biggest criminals and they get away with it and there’s nothing we can do about it?
True some just want microwave success and they don't really care who gets killed in the process it's just sickening to say the least
Its not ignorance. Where there is poverty, inequality (worlds best according to world bank) and unemployment there will be crime
@@aviweyantolo5023 I’m not saying inequality and unemployment don’t cause people to commit crimes, but gang crimes like in this video is not to feed their children and families, this is to enrich themselves and support rampant drug culture. Also go look how much gang crime is in some of the poorest Muslim countries where they don’t play around with criminals…
@@silvertongue3003 we are not muslims dont compare. Where there is poverty there is crime
@@aviweyantolo5023 it’s not because they are Muslim that they don’t have crime, it’s because they have the laws to deter criminals from being so brazen. You should get someone to take you into the gang world and see how hungry and impoverished they are. At first I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt but after your arguments I will repeat what I said at first.. Ignorance
Port Elizabeth , Newton Park is a hotspot , every night there's break ins , we never see the police in this area , only private security , we wanna see our police 24/7 , not only the security companies
Awww so sad how life is changing in South Africa one of my favourite places in the world to visit 😢 I dearly hope these people can see life in a different way shame 😢
Anc crime state
How do this work?how can mount road police cover dispatch....so far away.,
This is fascinating. The ending is even more fascinating.
These gangsters move with ease 😂😂😂😂😂.What a useless law enforcement . I grew up in Cape Town and this activities was done by Cape Town gangs in the 1970s to 1990s . Everyone in South Africa struggle under the ANC .For 30 years it is clear that the ANC politicians does not know how to run even a province or a village 😂😂😂😂😂
Bring back Amabharet and all of them must not be deployed to their homw towns.if you are in welkom go and work in East London,far away from your city.All of them must be properly screened and there must be a ceratin body weaight (BMI) to be assessed.
Are there any South Africans here who have never been a victim of crime?
Yes. I am free. You will not survive in this world without prayer to Jesus Christ. People are not praying.
I'm crime free too
@@nathanaelbartholomew they are now robbing congregants at church. I don't think it has anything to do with prayer
ANC will never prioritize crime. We are on our own.
There’s no safe neighbourhood in South Africa. Even rural areas are riddled with crime and the elderly are living in fear. When my mom was attacked, the police didn’t even come to our home, the guy sexually assaulted a young girl months later. It’s horrible!
The law is not doing its job at all. This has gotten out of hand. Soon all these small areas will be like the cape flats where unlawfulness rules.
"Oom charge hulle met die sword."😂 hectic. One brave grandpa.
Scary stuff!!!!
Houses are put up almost near Despatch those owner stay In location rent these houses out to criminals targeting our once was our quiet areas
I am from Uitenhage and despatch was a beautiful town on its own but now with the ANC in charge this is what happens
There's a group of homeless people in Mount Pleasant who are just sitting there, roaming around. When we installed a new water meter and the municipality didn't finish the job, they managed to use the piping from the water meter as their personal taps. We were alerted by the neighbour who said his dogs were barking when they came around. When we removed the water meter, they no longer hang around near the shops as much but they still roam around the streets. They've made everyone in the area feel uncomfortable in their own home and we've alerted the Ward 1 councilor but what can we do really. This area is near Mount Pleasant SuperSpar but, weirdly, even the taxi drivers are asking if I feel safe since these guys are around the area. Some of them are even going through people's postboxes. I used to feel safe when walking to the Spar in the evening. Because of these dudes, I don't want to Spar anymore. I'd rather go the mall
Thanks to the ANC !!!
Carte Blanche you got it wrong with Cape Town gangs. They not isolated to one area as you mention. They are everywhere in Cape Town and area's outside the city.
Motherwell kukwasatan uqobo. PE is not what people claim it to be maybe it used to be quiet and calm definitely not now
We not safe at home not safe in the malls lol we not safe in our own country
It is very sad! 😢
And nowhere to hide.. sad times we living in
@@QueenMaleka-ul8el let's hope it gets better.
The catch n release LAW should be blamed
So scary
Terrifying.
And just like everything else in SA… nothing will get done about it…
Don't tell me that there's not enough police officers , these days most of the police vechiles stand parked at private homes ,
I'll never understand pple in Despatch why can't they set up their own patrol services through rate association & have those formations in place.
We do. There are many neighbourhood watch patrols on the streets twice a night, working closely with SAPS and security companies. But they also have to sleep...
We need better government
I think you mean Port Elizabeth?
Port Elizabeth is Gqeberha
@@Nahthatcantbe not to the people who actually live there
this is WILD
The government and judicial system of the country is not intent on terminating crime in this country,, surely there are kickbacks and profits of some sorts
We hear gunshots every day here in Motherwell😢
Bring back that other system made the country safe.... what was it called again?
People must create a watch guard group or hire security for the area not houses alone,this thing of people thinking building a highwall and locking yourself in your hard is actually making you vulnerable to attacks
Shall we all pray? The Lord Jesus is calling this country!
Maybe pary maybe it can work otherwise south Africa is out of hand it's gone far it won't be south Africa again it's gangster south Africa
This is what happens in a country with the highest inequality, we all suffer. When we see more and more people struggling we must worry. These people won't just sit and watch us enjoy life, we all need to fight to eradicate this inequality. The government lacks the capacity to think proactively, the state has to have high intelligent teams that circulate the country, province to province, especially these high risk areas
but its the wealthy that are stealing in billions not the poor. all races weathy must be audited
well said brother, who wants to go sleep on an empty stomach every night?
Is apartheid to old to be used as an excuse? Is inequality the new excuse now for people behaving like animals? I have a quick question, how will people improve their lives if they keep on having children that they can't afford?
@anthony58936 South Africa is the most unequal country in the world and the foundation was laid by apartheid, so that reason is still very much valid.
@@alkebulanafricanconversati1728 especially when Afrikaner oldboys control the media & dstv...no wondee they are rarely if ever exposed
That police commission look useless.
I disagree mncekhenisa, he rather look deflated and I suspect it is because he has no support from his superiors
I would say helpless, rather than useless
@@fdonjay his incompetent
As a commissioner you are limited to a certain budget for the fiscal year and if there is all of a sudden multiple informal settlements in your precinct where do you get the funds to police those areas?.we are talking 100's of km.That man is not incompetent,if you still maintain he is sir you should try and be a police officer
Need we say More 😮
Any options or solution to prevent Crime rate increasing?
Cause its been going on for long,
And its like the more we talk and not act..is the more rate increase, they get influences
Theres also motherwell which has high daily hijackings daily
In my small town called Willilowvale , I once saw two quantum’s of police full of police patrolling at night, searching every suspicious person, I was very impressed, those police were very armed and I was impressed, if our SANDF can do that , start patrolling and doing those random searches we can have a better country.
Secondly our country does not invest much in our police services/security and corruption is a thing in our police industry.
That did exist not so long ago. There were Commando units attached to the SANDF that patrolled the small towns. The government got rid of them because they were to effective.
@@stblad3 what’s the problem with our government 😭😭
@@MNJ_Agri I think their only concern is themselves, family and friends. The rest of us, must just suffer on. Sad times!!
The problem is the management of the police.
The rainbow police service and the Rain bow wardens are also members of the gangs.
True. The Tyler's are corrupt. Only want jobs but aren't effective
I don't know about Despatch,but in Gqeberha the AR companies with the NHW is working hard in the areas..The syndicates they are talking about they are very dangerous,carrying firearms.
Not a 100% sure,but i've heard some associates of the panga gang got arrested late last year.
I always tell people to make it as difficult as you can for the criminals like put install alarm systems,close the yard,have some electric fencing,burglar bars/gates and dogs.They're first choice is the easy homes..I know its a lot,but unfortunately crime is what we have to deal with in SA.
There is a common thread in these stories.
Crime is getting too high in South Africa
Gqeberha has also Metro police members, until today I can't say I ever saw the Metro Police in action doing anything
Please start making hour long documentaries
They do, but they are available on Sunday nights on Mnet if memory serves. We are very fortunate that they release these ones for free on TH-cam.
Change the ministry of Police Ian Cameron for police minister
SAPS EC are always caught sleeping, the most infuriating thing is that the HQ is few kms away from the GQ metro area. EC needs an urban & rural gang unit.
Are home owners allowed to have guns?
You're not wrong. When I stayed in Uitenhage TRT drove the gangsters out of the city into the small towns.. Things really started to get out of hand by the time I left
These are the effects of marginalisation and the other thing prison is nice no one is scared to be arrested coz 10 years is 5 years
When it comes to Gqeberha you are barely scratching the surface. Go to Motherwell where a police was shot inside police station, atleast 5 hijacking a week, atleast a person getting shot dead every week. House breaking whilst people are inside. Gqeberha being ranked as number 9th dangerous city in the world, huge contributer is Motherwell.
It’s a war zone out here
Cry my beloved country. I do not think il ever come back there
Man this is insane.
We know these people but won't report them,same in East London
The private securities might also be involved, that's how they make more money as well...
Wild guess..
What if the security companies are in on it? For obvious reasons.
Portelizabeth know as the friendly City has become gang infested Capital very Sad 😔.
Wow. I think five-o is in on some of those heists.
Staan steel, le teel, sit slaap.
Woah huh what people in P.E LIVING LIKE THAT NOW nah that's crazy that's 5ed up this makes Cape Town look safe as gell
All of the best to Maj Genl Ncata
Your answer is the ANC
Why are we not holding Beki Cele accountable?
Why are people paying for security companies if this is happening
I have lost my 3cars in south Africa lost my nephew then an take my decision to leave South Africa no guys south Africa is big country on top list crimes yoh we moved to Japan
I wonder how Nelson Mandela would feel if he saw the state of his namesake?
😔
The problem is the government
Its Port Elizabeth
Our house " South Africa " is not in order. It is because we are separated as a country that things are the way they are. We hate each other, and I don't have to elaborate on that we know. If we want to fix the country, we need to fix our mindset.
Lol the commissioner is too nice to be in such a position
Just a correction Nelson Mandela Bay is not a city, it's a metro that are made up of 3 cities so it's not a city's crime stats but the combination of 3 cities crime stats.
A simple question, police say they under pressure, WHAT PRESSURE??? IF YOUR NOT EVEN DOING YOUR PLAIN AND SIMPLE JOB???
