A community leader in the township said that vigilantism, such as the situation with the 'Diepsloot Five' where seven people were killed, might become the order of the day if police didn’t curb the high levels of crime.
Diepsloot has been grappling with a surge in murders and other crimes, but despite desperate pleas for government intervention, help is in short supply.
The group is charged with murder, attempted murder, assault, kidnapping, robbery, damage to property, as well as contravening the Immigration Act.
An identification parade will be conducted in the case involving a group of people accused of killing five of seven men who were allegedly terrorising the community of Diepsloot.
The violent crime taking place in Diesploot is starting to spill into school grounds with pupils getting involved in clashes and stabbings outside school.
