EC communities protecting themselves against crime

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.
