WHAT DOES STAGGIE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

staggie

Rashied Staggie

Rashied Staggie is a former gang leader in Cape Town, South Africa. His twin brother, Rashaad Staggie, was leader of the Hard Livings gang who was killed after being shot and burned alive in Salt River, Cape Town in 1996 by members of the vigilante group PAGAD. In 2004 Staggie was convicted of burglary from the Faure police armoury and sentenced to 13 years in prison. In May 2013 the Western Cape department of correctional services announced that Staggie will be released on parole for good behaviour in late September 2013. Rashied was born in the Cape Town Suburb of Mooirivier in 1956. The Group Areas Act created forced removals of coloured peoples from so called white areas to a less desirable part of town. The Cape Flats became a place where more than a million displaced coloured and black people were relocated. Rashieds family were moved to Mannenberg in 1969. The area was poverty stricken and was without access to proper infrastructure and services. Due to the pressures of this poverty and hard living, Rahied and his brother Rashaad resorted to petty crimes for survival. By the time the twins were teenagers they were active drug dealers and were able to make some money.
