These youths are saying enough is enough to indiscriminate killing of young people by the department of the police known as the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS).
For several years, reports of SARS calling innocent young people “yahooboys” or fraudsters and killing them in the process has gone unchecked, giving these police officers the impetus to do more.
