    Description: DM1999072216:SAED:CRIME:JAN1959 - Gang Warfare Ends Up In Court - Living in Alexandra used to be like sitting on a volcano of violence. Anything could erupt; and it usually did, with the Msomis and Spoilers feuding it out. Now war has gone to court. A long day ends as defendents leave the courtroom to be taken back into custody. Relatives and friends try to catch their attention and send messages (Photograph Peter Magubane © Baileys Archive)Gangs, jail, court, Johannesburg

Sophiatown is now breathing for the last time. I was robbed on her streets, beaten up in her dark corners and I will never forget the day when a womean friend of mine was grabbed from me by Sophiatown's tough sons. Her people do not like the fact that she is being murdered and I sympathise with them because she was a free city. There was Aunt Babes, in Edith Street.

    Description: DM1999102925:GHAED:BEAUTIES:AUG1959 - It looked like any ordinary day the the beach at Accra. Then it happened. Out of the clear blue sky, it happened.
