This never before screened on television documentary will set tongues wagging as it highlights the rapid increase in drug abuse, building hijacking, prostitution, trafficking and corruption within the area on Gauteng’s West Rand over the past few years.

The 48-minute documentary takes a fearless look at how pimps are enslaving young girls, and how vicious drug lords have residents living in fear. Ex-drug dealers, former prostitutes and members of the community policing forum share their dire experiences about living and working in Mogale. The feature also investigates the key strategic role Mogale City plays in human trafficking and drugs in sub-Saharan Africa.

The director of Mogale, Dean Thompson, says, “Mogale City is a glimpse into what is happening in many small cities around the country, where drug syndicates are running the streets and in many cases the police force as well.”

Mogale premieres on Monday, 1 February at 20:55 on [ED] channel 190 on DStv and on GOtv, channel 65. It is rebroadcast on Tuesday, 2 February at 16:55; on Saturday, 6 February at 23:55; and on Sunday 7 February at 15:55.
