On the streets of Khayelitsha, Cape Town, the struggle for power is a topic of intense debate. This vast township, plagued by high crime, violence, unemployment, and poverty, was established in the mid-1980s during apartheid when black people were forcibly relocated from urban areas. Decades of neglect have allowed gangs and extortion rackets to thrive, bringing terror and misery to millions. Dino and his gang, representative of many young men with limited opportunities, navigate the township with ruthless violence, seeing crime as their only option. At the top of the criminal hierarchy is Mr. X, a figure infamous for extortion, whose operations stifle economic opportunities and deepen the residents’ poverty and fear.
Amidst this bleak landscape, community groups like Langa for Men and leaders like Luyolo offer alternatives to violence. Luyolo mentors young boys and takes them on trips to the ocean, providing hope and an escape from township pressures. Monde, the chairman of the Community Policing Forum, tirelessly advocates for justice, working with the police and community members to improve safety. Complementing his efforts, the women of the neighborhood watch, led by Mamma Fillika, patrol dangerous areas unarmed and unpaid, serving as a powerful deterrent to criminals. This documentary explores the resilience and struggle of those trying to survive in Khayelitsha, highlighting the complex dynamics at play and the ongoing battle between despair and hope.

I lived in Philippi Cape town for 11 years. I have never felt so safe before leaving that hell hole. The scariest part of this documentary is that when I was there, me and my friends felt that Khayelitsha was the safest township compared to others. We never socialized in our townships, Philippi, Gugulethu, Nyanga and Delft. We felt safer going to Khayelitsha on weekends.
Of course the police will not go near the gangs they’re job is harassing average citizens and petty criminals or else they won’t get their 2 litre cokes and kfc
