Johannesburg, South Africa, is a city trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty and violent crime, where residents can no longer rely on the official police force. This documentary takes you to the front lines, revealing what happens when desperation forces people to take the law into their own hands. Meet the controversial private security forces, like Mapogo and Bad Boys, who offer protection for a price, but often use brutal and illegal methods—such as the shambok—to punish and interrogate suspects. This is the programme 'Louis Theroux Law and Disorder in Johannesburg'.
