Today, it’s believed that there are 57 triad societies and the biggest of those groups is Sun Yee On, which was formed in 1919 and are Hong Kong-based. When the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949, many of the groups moved to Hong Kong, while others went to Macau, Taiwan, and other countries overseas including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. In the 20 th century, the large triad group started to break up into smaller factions. They ultimately failed, but the bond between the members survived. They originally formed as a society that wanted to overthrow the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming dynasty. The triads, which is colloquially known as the Chinese mafia, dates back to the 17 th century. Luckily, the gang does not have much influence outside of the prison, but it should be an excellent reminder to stay on the right side of the law if you’re ever in Cape Town. In an interview on the documentary show Ross Kemp on Gangs, Mongrel was very clear that the sex involves a lot of eye contact, but he’s not too big on consent. If someone chooses the silver line, they are initiated into the gang by having sex with the leader of the 28s, John Mongrel, who came to Pollsmoor when he was just 14-years-old. They can be part of the gold line, which is a fighter, or they can choose the silver line, which is to serve the fighters sexually.
When a man joins, there are two roles that he can fulfill for the gang. In order to join the 27s, you have to stab a guard first.įinally, there is the 28s, and they have a pretty open membership. Instead everything inside the prison is controlled by the gangs. Next is the 27s they specifically target guards, which means guards don’t normally enter the prison itself. The 26s are physically fit men that are capable of stealing. The gangs have a pretty easy-to-understand pitch when it comes to recruiting new members – join a gang or get raped and possibly murdered.Įach gang plays a specific role in the overcrowded prison. The second is that the prison is basically run by three different gangs – the 26s, the 27s, and 29s, or known as a whole as the Numbers Gangs. The first is that Nelson Mandela was imprisoned there for six years. Pollsmoor Prison is located in Cape Town, South Africa, and is famous for two reasons.
In some cases, these gangs make more money than Fortune 500 companies, while others generate very little revenue, but what they all have in common is that they are terrifying. As for the Land Down Under, it’s because while Australia has some scary biker gangs, which are called bikie gangs (how adorable!), their most dominant crime syndicate is actually centralized in Europe (and it’s found in entry #5). No one’s going to be muscling in on penguin turf anytime soon. On this list, you’ll find some of the most terrifying gangs and crime syndicates from every continent on Earth, with the exception of Australia and, obviously, Antarctica.
