Numbers Gang – South Africa

The Numbers Gang is considered to be one of the most ill-reputed crime organizations present in South Africa today. The gang formed as a result of the inhumane conditions being experienced by black miners. The organization mostly thrives in the prison system and are divided into the 26s, 27s, and 28s.  The 26s are comprised of robbers and smugglers, the 27s require that you stab a prison warden or guard to join their sect, and the 28s are vicious sex offenders who sexually assault other prisoners.
