April 1956 - Death in the Dark City - The people of Alexandra are appealing for protection, and not protection of the kind that the gangsters would like to offer them. It's about time that some tough policeman clean up the mess. It's likely that the police don't know what's going on. Otherwise encouraged by their easy escapes the gangsters will become bolder and more dangerous. They should not be allowed to continue poking out their tongues at the law. Decent citizens have already given up going out to evening entertainment in this dark city of sudden death. They say it is not pleasant to hear the close whistle of a bullet near your ear in the dark. (Photograph by Peter Magubane @ BAHA)
