The Bang Bang Club
About “The Bang Bang Club”:
The Bang-Bang Club was a group of four conflict photographers, Kevin Carter, Greg Marinovich, Ken Oosterbroek, and João Silva, active within the townships of South Africa between 1990 and 1994 during the transition from a herrenvolk democracy to a multiracial democracy. This period included much factional violence, particularly fighting between African National Congress (ANC) and Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) supporters, after the lifting of the bans on both political parties. The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) and other groups were also involved in the violence.
