Moshate TaskTeam has appealed to members of the public to assist in locating a young boy from Majakaneng, North West, who the organisation alleges is a gang leader and is in possession of firearms.
In a public statement, the organisation claimed that the boy is currently in Grade 10 and that the South African Police Service (SAPS) is also looking for him.
The appeal asks anyone who may know his whereabouts or spot him to contact their nearest police station or inform Moshate TaskTeam.
The organisation also indicated that it wants the boy to attend its disciplinary camp as part of its intervention efforts.
The latest appeal has again drawn attention to concerns surrounding youth involvement in alleged gang activities in the Majakaneng and surrounding areas.
In August 2026, reports emerged about videos circulating on social media that allegedly showed teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17 involved in a violent attack in the Bapong and Majakaneng area. The reports prompted public calls for information, although the specific group’s alleged gang activities were not independently confirmed by SAPS at the time.
Majakaneng has also previously been the focus of police operations. In August 2025, SAPS conducted a multidisciplinary operation involving more than 200 officers and other role-players in the area.
The latest statement from Moshate TaskTeam raises further questions about the challenges facing communities where concerns about youth violence, alleged gangsterism and access to firearms have been raised.
SAPS has not independently confirmed the allegations made in the latest social media statement, and the boy’s identity, the alleged firearms and the circumstances surrounding the reported search remain unverified.
