Residents of Umzomusha, a small informal settlement situated at Inanda in KZN are leaving their households abondened in fear of the Notorious West gang.
Some people have even left their jobs due to being constantly mugged off hard earned goods such as cellphones, tablets, watches, rings e.t.c
But what residents fear the most is that most times the west gang get in altercation with the police which sometimes involve gun shooting and the gang would run back to hide there by the community which puts the people in risk of being heat by stray bullets.
Lately it's been reported that the west gang has killed an innocent man who was hiding his little daughter's son from the gang, the father of the baby was a rival gang to the west, so they wanted to hurt his son since they can't get him.
The man was defending his grandchild life and in return they took his without hesitation or second thought. The mother of the baby cried in sorrow as she saw his father die for the sins of her baby daddy.
Recently the West gang were almost caught and arrested but the police weren't successful.
It's said that the West gang was on their way from a robbery at Inanda Dube Village Mall, when they started shooting at a patrolling police van.
One of the policeman lost his life on the scene, the other policeman called for backup and that's when the chase started.
The Durban K9 and the flying squad were all over Umzomushe, (bester area 1,2,35&10) and Kwa Mashu M section in sought of the West gang with no luck at all.
Until later that day around six 0 clock in the evening, it's was reported that the Durban K9 & Flying Squad concluded that search of the West gang in a township near Durban city "Clermont".
The capture wasn't smooth though as expected considering that the gang is always armed.
One of the West gangsters was shot in the head near the eye...but the rest of the gang managed to escape the scene.
Last week as other young member of the West gang lost his life through other altercation with the police, Whatsapp voicenotes surfaced of the West gang members saying they're going to go inside a local high school ( JG Zuma High School) to rob off everybody in demand of donations for their late member.
So last week Friday 8 august 2025, JG Zuma High School Governing body closed all the gates of the school warning learners, teachers and the staff to stay home.
