Two members of the “COVID19” gang, Sikhumbuzo Shaun Mpangane and Bonginkosi Shakoane, were sentenced to nine life sentences and 60 years in prison for killing six people in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Mpangane had previously served time for possessing an illegal firearm and went on to create his own gang. The successful conviction of these gang members gave temporary relief to the region that has been struggling with ongoing gang violence.
