Mannenberg, also known by the locals as “The Chatjies”, is a coloured township on the Cape flats. It is a seriously dangerous and crime invested place where gangs like the “Americans” and the “Hard Livings” shoot and chop each other up regularly.

In this area, in 1996, the white taxpayers built the G.F. Jooste Hospital with over 200 beds and servicing more than 5000 black and coloured patients per month .
