      "Cape Town is two cities. One is beautiful beyond imagining, known since its beginning as the 'fairest cape' in the world. Here tourists come to lounge on beaches, scale misty peaks and dine in fine restaurants. The other is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, where police need bullet-proof vests and sometimes army backup. Here gangs of young men rule the night with heavy calibre handguns, dispensing heroin, cocaine, crystal meth and fear. This is a story of the second city... In Gang Town, investigative journalist and criminologist Don Pinnock draws on more than thirty years of research to provide a nuanced and definitive portrait of youngsters caught up in violent crime."--Page [4] of book cover.

      South Africa is a place of wonder, intrigue and glorious colour, viewed at a time of great change. This title features photographs, which reflect the vivid colours of Ndebele hut exteriors, Basotho hut interiors and the magical mirror-dancing rooms of the owl house in Nieu-Bethesda. They capture a beautiful country and its people.
