This artwork serves as a poignant reminder and a stark warning about Johannesburg, famously known as "The City of Gold." Within the urban landscape, where the streets are lined with stories of daily muggings, it transforms into a concrete jungle. In this metaphorical portrayal, the thugs, much like hyenas, adopt a scavenger-like hunting style, often working in pairs or groups. Through its visual narrative, the artwork captures the gritty reality of the city's crime rate, urging viewers to stay vigilant and be mindful of their surroundings in this complex urban environment
