[The Conversation Africa] A campaign against gangsterism in Cape Town, South Africa led by the People Against Gangsterism and Drugs (Pagad) turned violent in the mid-1990s when a group known as Pagad G-Force began what became known as an urban terrorism campaign. Lives on the Line, written by security analyst David Africa, is the true story of the secret team in the country's crime intelligence division that waged a six-year battle against the terror group - and won. The terror campaign was brought to a standstill in 2002.
