Hillbrow does have quite the reputation, but even with that in mind there’s something jarring about the latest video doing the rounds.
Last time we saw Hillbrow in action, angry churchgoers overpowered and assaulted a Johannesburg Metro Police Department officer.
On a Sunday, nogal – so much for that day of rest.
This time around the details are sketchy, but I’m sure you can fill in the gaps. According to Times LIVE, the attack took place on Tuesday, and the same gang have become notorious for attacks such as these.
The video was first shared by the Intelligence Bureau SA Facebook group:
It’s frightening to see how normalised the violence has become, as those passing by hardly bat an eyelid at the brazen attack.
Hillbrow or the Cape Flats, then?
