Book review with Don Pinnock and his latest book titled Gang Town

My producer Aishah Cassiem has read the book half way and says its a must read, especially for those who would like to get a better & informative insight on the City's problems.

Whats inside book: Why is Cape Town one of the most violent cities on earth? What is it that makes gangs so attractive to young people? Why are drugs so easy to find and so widespread? Why are the police seemingly losing control of the crime situation? Why is it getting worse? These are some of the many penetrating questions in a new book, Gang Town, by top-selling investigative journalist and criminologist Don Pinnock. This is not merely an academic book about the city’s problems. It gives the context to these questions and offers some startling answers.
