Nkosi said that he had heard many stories about how old people treat young people in prison, but he never believed he would one day experience it. “He told me that I did it even though I told him I did not … I was sent to Pollsmoor Prison for a few months before I was given bail.” “I admitted to the crime because I was beaten by the police prosecutor at the police station,” said Nkosi. He claims he was not involved in the incident. In January, Nkosi and his friends were accused of beating a member of a rival gang to death. Their members are aged between 12 and 25.
The Vura and the Vato are rival gangs in the township. He is accused of murdering a gang member from the Vura gang in Crossroads, Nyanga.
He used to belong to a gang called the Vato.
