    Description: DM2008110307:SAED:SOCIAL:CRIME:PERSONALITIES:APR 1960 - "I Am The Man Who Fought The Msomis" - Badman - smoke coming from his nose. When the Msomis ruled Alexandra with their guns and their knives, and everyone was scared, there was just one man who stood up to them, and swapped them bullet for bullet. He was Badman Msibi. He tells you here how the Msomis tried to get him, how they cornerd him with their guns, how they shot him up, and how he fought back. (Photograph by Drum PhotographerBAHA)gangs

    Description: DM1999072216:SAED:CRIME:JAN1959 - Gang Warfare Ends Up In Court - Living in Alexandra used to be like sitting on a volcano of violence. Anything could erupt; and it usually did, with the Msomis and Spoilers feuding it out. Now war has gone to court. A long day ends as defendents leave the courtroom to be taken back into custody. Relatives and friends try to catch their attention and send messages (Photograph Peter Magubane © Baileys Archive)Gangs, jail, court, Johannesburg

    Description: DM2002022502:GCPED:SOCIAL:PERSONALITY:CRIME:15NOV1960 - How I Became A Msomi Gangster - Boston demonstrates how his judo knowledge at times came handy when he was cornered by other gangsters. For four long years the Msomi gangster ruled Alexandra Township, killing, and robbing as they liked. How did they come into being? How did they operate? Why did their leaders end in the death cell? ... Msomi gunman 'Boston Tar Baby' Snyman tells the complete story. If a proffessional criminal were to tell youngsters that crime doesn't pay, even the skilled craftsman like myself, kids might listen. That is why i decided to come clean.

    Description: DM2002061103:SAED:SOCIAL:CRIME:PERSONALITY:JAN1960 - The Spoilers vs The Msomi, Crime Of The Year - Lefty Thembu, a tough man himself was beaten up by gang organised by Matthews in early days of Msomis. The thumb that used to pull the safety catch, the the forefinger that triggered off abullet,arenow doing different jobs at the Pretoria Prison. One thumbs the pages of the Bible while the other turns them. Suprisingly enough, they belong to Shadrack Mathews, once self-styled Premier and Governer-General of Alexandra, Joburg, whose word sent thugs to murder, to plunder to terrorise and to bring grief to honest peace loving residents of Alexandra.

    Description: DM2002061106:GCPED:SOCIAL:PERSONALITY:CRIME:15NOV1960 - How I Became A Msomi Gangster - Boston demonstrates how his judo knowledge at times came handy when he was cornered by other gangsters. For four long years the Msomi gangster ruled Alexandra Township, killing, and robbing as they liked. How did they come into being? How did they operate? Why did thir leaders end in the death cell? ... Msomi gunman 'Boston Tar Baby' Snyman tells the complete story. If a proffessional criminal were to tell youngsters that crime doesn't pay, even the skilled craftsman like myself, kids might listen. That is why i decided to come clean.

Coezee, security man at Alex. "When i was assigned to smash the Msomis i knew i was up against a tough job. People refused to help us as they were afraid that any visit to me would be noticed by some thug who was waiting next to my office to see who came to talk. I had to get offices in Bree street to collect affidavits. The extent that Mathews had the people of Alexandra in his power came out in the affidavits. We interviewed between five hundred and six hundred people,and the accusing finger was pointed at Mathews. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
