The sound of the vuvuzela became famous during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and now, almost a decade later, the plastic trumpet has taken on a new purpose as a security instrument.

There is currently thousands of patrollers, working in groups across Soweto, walking women to their train or bus station, and then later, back home.
The guardian angels occasionally receive donations, but most do it for free.
