Caryn Dolley is an award-winning journalist and author based in Cape Town. For close to two decades she has extensively covered organised crime in the country. Through her work, she’s exposed how South Africa fits into global criminal networks, how gangsters appear to have infiltrated aspects of private security, and how politics, rogue intelligence, and state corruption seem to intertwine.

Caryn’s latest work on The Daily Maverick covers what late cop André Lincoln’s funeral may expose about the state, and the implications of the killing of underworld figure Andre Naude.
