Endangered People | Part 8 | 29 June 2025

JOHANNESBURG - There's been a rapid surge in gang violence in Johannesburg in recent months. 

Flare-ups have been escalating in hotspot areas like Eldorado Park and Westbury, as well as in Reiger Park, east of the city. 

Communities in these areas are at their wits' end and are calling for more police visibility and intelligence-driven clampdowns.

Producers Lee McCabe and Sonri Naidoo take a look at the impact of these crimes, in part 8 of our series called Endangered People.
