Toaster gang

Explanation
a vigilante group active in Tembisa, Tvl. The gang consisted largely of former 'comrades' expelled from the ANC in Tembisa. Initially, the gang specialised in car hijackings.

Gang members and hostel-dwellers played a significant role in political conflict in Tembisa in 1992 and 1993.
