The Americans Poster

The Americans' – Mr Drum investigates the Reef’s most notorious gang.

During the week they rob businesses, disguised as employees in dustcoats. On weekends, they roam in flashy American clothes. Sophiatown, the nucleus of Reef crime, spawned more gangs than any other area. The Americans even hired a schoolteacher and a matriculated student to ghostwrite love letters to respectable girls. Gang fights erupted over romance, but the Americans longed to appear respectable themselves.
