Abstract
While the connection between political terrorism and organised crime, with the former using this link to obtain money and other resources, is in many cases an established fact, the converse has been subjected to less scrutiny. Specifically, this refers to the use of terror tactics by organised crime. In the case of South Africa, the extreme violence accompanying many crimes and the use of a combination of guerrilla and terror tactics in for instance cash-in-transit robberies, raise the question whether violent crime especially, has not resulted in a situation of ‘criminal terror’.
