Behind the façade of South Africa lies a brutal shadow-world ruled by
mafias, cartels, and crime syndicates locked in a ruthless war over
South Africa’s riches.
There’s the tobacco mafia. The water tanker mafia. The taxi mafia. The
hospital mafia. The construction mafia. The kidnapping mafia.
Each one feeds off a vast web of patronage and extraction that
stretches from street level to the highest echelons of government.
Their bloodsucking tentacles reach deep into municipalities,
state-owned enterprises, political parties, the police, and even the
National Prosecuting Authority. Those who resist them are silenced in
cold blood.
This is not a criminal underworld lurking in the shadows. It is part of
the system itself. Where does organised crime end and the state begin?
Are the two so intertwined that it has become near impossible to
distinguish the one from the other? Has South Africa become a mafia
state?
Multi-award-winning investigative journalist Kyle Cowan sets out to
answer these and other questions, revealing the dark underbelly of a
country where the thin blue line has all but disappeared.
Mafia Land is the hair-raising tale of twelve of South Africa’s most
dangerous cartels, and how they will stop at nothing in their deadly,
devastating plunder of our country.
