Gangland (Pty) Ltd - an economy on its own - SA
Tens of thousands of Capetonians depend on gangs for a living and police are rendered powerless to intervene.

Locking up the gangsters will have little impact on the Cape's multimillion-rand underworld economy, which has become so sophisticated that it operates along the lines of multinational corporations.

Lucrative drug-dealing, the sex industry and the fencing of stolen goods yield rich profits, which are often invested in legitimate businesses including hotels, fishing, taxis and nightclubs.

Top consultants and accountants are employed by the gangs and sit in on advanced strategy meetings and advise on investments.
