SOUTH AFRICA Man attempted to steal goods from a store, but was caught red-handed. The shopkeeper immediately called passersby to the scene, who gathered into a crowd hungry for street justice. They beat him with wooden slats so much that he began to bleed heavily from his head.
In African states, including South Africa, street justice is still widespread and rooted in the residents. These customs stem primarily from lower education and a general distrust of the police and state justice. However, never participate in such lynchings. It is a gross violation of human rights and you face prosecution for it.
