The youth of every decade has its own challenges, and in
this decade unemployment, lack of affordable housing, pressure of materialism,
substance abuse but most importantly gangsterism is at the forefront.
In bloodcurdling evidence in the Western Cape High Court, a
gang member in witness protection, told of an army of gangsters belonging to
one gang operating in the province and reporting to one of the most notorious
gang leaders.
The Terrible Josters gang member is a State witness in the
trial of alleged Terrible Josters gang leader Horatio Solomons, and 11 other
members. He told the court that the gang consisted of 10 000 members aka
mongrels operating in various parts of the Western Cape.
The state claims that Solomons and his members are facing 77 charges including 11 murders, dealing in
drugs, money laundering, illegal possession of firearms and contravention of
the Prevention of Organised Crime Act. The accused is the son of the
sister of Ernie “Lastig” Solomons who is the alleged leader of the 28s gang,
who also styled himself as a pigeon farmer and rapper. Piegeon farmer? How
wholesome.
Asked by Menigo to detail the leadership of the Terrible
Josters gang, the witness said that Horatio is the leader of the Terrible
Josters in Delft, Wesbank, Elsies River and Kleinmond. He has met all the other
leaders of this gang in Hawston at Club Octopus, where they attended birthday
celebrations of Ernie Lastig on August 4th
2013.
On the hand sign used by the Terrible Josters, the witness
explained that if he saluted a member with an open hand showing towards the member
it meant he had no problem with him and came in peace. But if he greeted a
member showing the back of his hand it signified that he didn't come in peace.
SO BASICALLY, GANGSTERS ARE EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS, AND ON THAT
NOTE, SALAAM!
