Description
Set mainly in Johannesburg and environs, this is a tale of crime and gangsterism that shapes into a thriller abounding with action and incredible humour. Soon after the 1994 election bombings police seek a suspect who has fled to London. His ex-apartheid government secret service gang extorts money from a taxi organization, which hires former military gunmen to protect it. The gang is involved in many other forms of crime with other neighbourhood gangs in the crime ridden suburb of Hillbrow. One of the members of the gang steals money meant to pay a gang member and disappears. He resurfaces as a businessman, and also a drug dealer. He sends two female prostitutes to pick up narcotics in London. A narcotics supply plane from Colombia crashes in the Atlantic, delaying the women by several days. The women are lured into a London red-light centre, where they hope to reap huge sums of money while they wait for the consignment. In a bad deal over the money and service one of the women kills a wanted South African man who was being sought for the 1994 bombings in Johannesburg. The other returns and gets arrested, leading to the exposure and arrest of the man who had sent her. A freelancer formerly with the same secret service men had earlier undertaken to track down the most wanted of the alleged bombers. He sticks with one of the top shadow men of the wanted group. Later he gets entrusted with a million rands to hand over to the gang, which he pockets as ‘compensation’ for his daughter who was killed by the former secret service gang. After some fighting, the taxi bosses realise that the gunmen they hired are no match for the opposition. They then decide to pay the gang some money to earn a reprieve. The taxi boss unwittingly pays the money into his long lost daughter’s account, who worked for the gang that wanted the money. A hearty reunion later happens. A gang war erupts among the armed gangs, involving scintillating action, high drama and incredible humour.
