As Osas is drawn into the gang life, the easiest way to make a living in the city, tensions are rising between the gangs. A young woman is murdered, a prostitute, the killer is a ‘pink’ man, one of the rich white guys who frequent the poorer part of town. The story of migrant communities echoes across Europe, but here we can see the African perspective with people brutalised, abused and discarded while those who profit from it perpetuate their misery. It’s a story of corruption, gangland violence, sex trafficking, modern slavery and murder set in a suburb of Johannesburg. The Strangers of Braamfontein is one of those crime novels that hits you in the gut and before you can recover another powerful blow is delivered.
