Karachi has its own stories of gang wars and the underworld. But what connects the city to the criminal networks of South Africa?
A Pakistani businessman’s store in Johannesburg was targeted by armed men in 2016. The incident became the starting point of an investigation into the far-reaching networks of organised crime linking South Africa and Pakistan.
In this documentary, Nukta Senior Correspondent Ahmer Rehman Khan investigates the gang wars of Cape Town’s Cape Flats, tracing the connections between criminal networks in South Africa, Pakistani businessmen and journalists, and Karachi’s underworld.
From gang violence and illegal weapons to drug networks operating across borders, the investigation explores the criminal underworld of one of South Africa’s most dangerous urban areas and the connections that reach far beyond it.
