Daily Sun (November 5 2013) - AFTER the horror events of Sunday, many Khutsong residents have not shown any regret for what they did. If the law doesn't put criminals away, we will take care of them ourselves, they said. BY YESTERDAY SIX PEOPLE HAD ALREADY DIED AT THE HANDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
"What we did on Sunday is a sample of what the community is prepared to do," a 32-year-old resident told Daily Sun. He was prepared to admit that he was part of Sunday's rampage but not prepared to give his name. We have held meetings and we have agreed to end this gangsterism by punishing them ourselves."
He repeated the message that most of the residents from the kasi near Carletonville on Joburg's West Rand first announced in the People's Paper last week.
He said the members of gangs like the Vandals, the Casanovas and the Creatures have been raping and robbing, plundering property and assaulting residents but their days were numbered.
"Their activities must end immediately," said an angry resident.
"Otherwise cops must arrest the whole community because this is what we have all agreed on."
