Eldorado Park has become synonymous with drugs dens and gangsterism. Journalist MAXINE BECKET shares her experience of reporting in one of South Africa’s drug capitals with Mbali Zwane.
It pains me to know that a place I call home, is home to drug lords and notorious gangsters as well. There’s good happening in this community but it gets overshadowed by the bad things that happen. I try to balance my reporting as a community journalist because, despite the township being known as a drug capital, residents do take the initiative in tackling the drugs and gangsterism – a mushrooming parasite.
