Episode 202 The Foster Gang

Author: Killer Audio Creations April 12, 2026 Duration: 1:16:35
Occasionally, a group of criminals commits a series of crimes so infamous that the story becomes part of South African crime folklore. When this happens, without fail, the story becomes distorted and sometimes, the reality of the brutality gets lost in the fray. This is the true story of a group of criminals who terrorised South Africa in 1913 and 1914 and the hidden legacy they left behind. Disclaimer voiceover by Karabo Peter.
