COMMUNITY activists in Club 2000 are petitioning for "drug lords" to leave the area after residents say they were terrorised by a group of about 25 people believed to be linked to a local drug kingpin.

Community leader Thabiso Louw said he was among those injured when residents were attacked with pangas and knobkerries.

He explained that residents had decided to take matters into their own hands after the police allegedly failed to honour a commitment to assist them last week.

“Homes are regularly broken into and items are stolen. Most of the affected residents are elderly grandmothers and women-headed households,” said Louw.
