In Johannesburg, violence is omnipresent. With twenty murders a day, South Africa's largest city lives to the rhythm of feuds between rival gangs that rule the slums and poverty. Take Diepsloot, in the north of the city, where there are sixteen murders per month, two toilets and one water tap for 200,000 inhabitants. A gang who call themselves the Die Hard Boys, loots to buy drugs. Since the police no longer patrol these neighbourhoods, citizen militias are taking justice into their own hands, exacerbating the situation in a country where firearms are available for a few hundred dollars.
