"Some of these thugs are so high on drugs, they don't even remember that they robbed and violently attacked us. Then, a few days later, they come begging for food at our doors," exasperated Nyanga residents complain. 

People here are fed up with the violent crime plaguing the area, leading to it being dubbed a no-go zone.
