Why do so many South Africans prefer to take the law into their own hands rather than rely on the police? Why are those who do so often cheered or sympathised with?

In Why We Kill: Mob Justice and the New Vigilantism in South Africa, Karl Kemp delves into the unsettling rise of vigilante justice in South Africa.

From shocking statistics to recent cases, Why We Kill uncovers the roots, realities, and consequences of this alarming trend.

Kemp will be in conversation with Shaun de Waal at the launch.

RSVP essential!
