Mamelodi West residents say the area is being held to ransom by gangsters.
Mamelodi's 'John Wick' vigilante has sparked a major debate after he allegedly went on a killing spree in the area.that not a day goes by without gunshots ringing out.
“Here in Mamelodi, the thugs have won the battle against the state. They are not even afraid of police officials. Police are afraid of Boko Haram,” said Makaung.“This thing started around 2014, when people started occupying municipal buildings illegally and the municipality never reacted. The so-called Boko Haram evicted hostel residents from the buildings that were actually meant for hostel residents.
“There are always gunshots. When there are gunshots I check where my children are. When you cannot see your children you ask yourself: who has been shot and what might have happened?” she said.“We are scared. Having children, even if you didn’t give birth to them, you start thinking through a mother’s pain, of what might be happening. This is how we live,” she said.“What has been going on now, we hear that they are busy finishing [killing] one another. We are shocked as to what is happening.
