Be happy about that. Here in the Southernmost tip of Africa the
underground mafia stronghold is appalling. Over this new year
season, three DJ's (that I know of directly) had their record boxes
stolen and later re-offered back to them at a price - a lesson taught
by the protection racket / drug empire.
I don't even want to dig deeper into this seedy mess, but it is public
knowledge that this is going on and has become acceptable
practice. There is currently a move by certain syndicates that want
to eradicate club managers directly paying DJ's : they are to hand
over the DJ's fees to the protection racket dude, who then hands
out cash to the DJ. Ha ha. Guess who's winning and who's losing
in this little game...
Very ugly.
