In parallel with this is a sleazy underworld where control of the lucrative nightclub-security scene is the ultimate prize, for which some are prepared to pay using extortion and murder as the main currencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSouth Africa's private-security sector is massive, an informal police force increasingly relied on as confidence in traditional policing wanes. But it's an industry tainted by ties to underworld figures and events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mother City's security turf wars have their roots in pre-democratic South Africa, and branch into Cape Flats gang battles raging since the 1990s. Dotting this landscape are colourful and contentious figures - Yuri 'The Russian' Ulianitski, nightclub-security kingpin and rumoured apartheid-state operative Cyril Beeka, convicted drug dealer Radovan Krejč ř, controversial businessman Nafiz Modack and Mark Lifman. Making surprise appearances are high-ranking police officers as well as prominent members of the ANC and government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJournalist Caryn Dolley has interviewed numerous criminal and suspects, often putting herself in danger in pursuit of the truth. Here she weaves her research into a story that lays bare the reality of Cape Town's nightclub-security wars: a vast network of information and misinformation in which innocent members of the public enjoying a night out inadvertently rub shoulders with some of the city's most infamous criminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caryn Dolley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1868429202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781868429202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Ball Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"Caryn Dolley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978729849087,"sku":"9781868429202","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81d4f958-9f15-4a07-a497-3fd7334bcaf3.jpg?v=1683242798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-enforcers-caryn-dolley-9781868429202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
