Thousands of angry South African protesters hunted down suspected illegal immigrant miners known as 'Zama Zama', who the police blame for the gang rape of eight women that shocked the nation last week. The mobs of residents of Kagiso township in Krugersdorp shut down informal shafts and burn down houses, armed with machetes, spades and hammers. "If the police cannot help us, then we have to take the law into our own hands, there is no other way, there's nothing else we can do" said one community member. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
