Crime in SA| Too many illegal guns in communities

JOHANNESBURG - A group of men linked to multiple crimes including 11 murders and hijackings are appearing in court today. 

They were arrested after a video that went viral a few weeks ago.  In the footage, the young men can be seen walking casually through KwaMashu hostel, displaying firearms and firing shots into the air.
