Bloemhof gangs call for truce

SAfm — Following violent confrontations, between self confessed gangsters and residents at Boitumelong township in Bloemhof in the North West, the two opposing groups are now calling for a truce. Three lives have been lost and several people are hospitalised in a bloody fight that lasted several days. As fear continues to grip the area, minibus taxi drivers and some community members sleep in groups at a local taxi rank, to defend each other against possible attacks. Lucas Mothibedi reports.
