Meth and Guns in South Africa, and Crime at Nairobi’s Dandora Dumpsite
Description
In South Africa, methamphetamine usage and the networks that support them are at all all-time high. And the assassination of a South African police detective highlights the channels by which illegal weapons and firearm licenses are sold to criminals.
