Goredema, CharlesGoga, Khalil2014-09-092014-09-0920142014-081026-0404http://hdl.handle.net/10625/53176Organized crime wields significant power in South Africa, and without necessarily becoming part of the formal structures criminals have capitalized on economic opportunities to manipulate and corrupt the state. Economic disparities continue to follow centuries-old racial cleavages, with a majority of the population subsisting in poverty. The paper is informed by a study of the apparent gaps in state authority that organized criminal networks continue to exploit to advance their interests. This report analyzes sub-sectors implicated in the most significant criminal markets, and the systems that support them. State interventions need to acknowledge that much organized crime reflects a dysfunctional society.Text1 digital file (20 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenSOCIAL NETWORKSGOVERNANCEORGANIZED CRIMEVIOLENCEDEMOCRATIZATIONCORRUPTIONSOUTH AFRICA--CAPE TOWNSynthesis Report
