EAST LONDON - Over the past six months, there were over 2,300 murders in the Eastern Cape.
There has also been an increase in extortion, kidnapping and robberies.
Now, communities are fighting back.
A group calling themselves Special Team Crime Fighters have adopted a unique approach.
Alleged criminals are caught and video clips taken of them, which are posted on social media.
But there are concerns the group may be being a little heavy handed.
