In Limpopo's Giyani, a Card Scammer Received a Severe Beating

It is said that "for every wrong done under the sun, there is an equal and opposite right to pay." When you consider the widespread criminal activity in the country, from carjackings to identity theft to online fraud, you might question if anyone is ever held accountable for their actions. I mean, locking people up doesn't seem to work, so have you considered whether there might be an alternative approach to dealing with them?

People in Malamulele, Giyani (Limpopo), appear to have developed their own methods for dealing with scammers, regardless of the law, because the law doesn't provide them with too much protection.
