THULANI MAHLANGU
One other incident that I would like to bring forward is the gangster incident.  In our area we had gangsters.  We used to patrol often and on coming across unregistered firearm we would confiscate it and hand it over to our commanders.
	Sometimes we would patrol and come back with nothing.  That was the situation but yes, we used to patrol and come across the gangsters, confiscate firearms from them.  
	There was also this so-called Khumalo gang that used to come to our area.  These were the IFP members.  They would come and start shooting people and so we decided to patrol that area and make sure that we do not lose lives.
