Totally off wikipedia spectrum, but if Joao or Greg ever get to read this. You guys are fucken heros. Just sayin. 58.7.0.146 18:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Woudl you really say that the Bang-Bang Club ended with the death of Oostrebroek? Or was it just the general winding down after the apartheid era was finished? hbdragon88 05:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
-- A bit of both really. Oosterbroek's death seemingly 'broke' the group's coherence, but the end of Apartheid also removed the urgency that drove the group. 58.7.0.146 (talk) 11:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I personally think that he deserves so much more than a blank wikipedia page. Someone with more information about him, flesh it out.--Normal Phobic (talk) 17:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello this part of the first phrase I chance: "from the apartheid system to government based on universal suffrage."
Desmond M. Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa marked this time as a fight "from repression to freedom, from totalitarian rule to democracy." Source is the book „The Bang-bang Club: Snapshots From A Hidden War“ by Greg Marinovich & Joao Silva , 2000, P ix (9). I write now "from the apartheid system to democracy."

Hello - I started to add more text and information to this Bang-Bang Club. I find the work of this photographers very admirable. For this I use the first edition of the book "The Bang-Bang Club: Snapshots From A Hidden War". First print William Heinemann, London, 2000, and for the citation the first print Basics Books, New York, 2000. best.--Maxim Pouska (talk) 18:52, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello : "The Bang Bang Club was a group of photographers and photojournalists" - the four menbers of the club are photojournalist and spezial conflikt photographers at this time- not just some photographers. I chang it.
Second : ...particularly fighting between ANC and IFP supporters, after the lifting of the bans on both political parties. And what about the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging? I add this too.
and starring Taylor Kitsch, Ryan Phillippe, Frank Rautenbach and Malin Åkerman, - maybe this four aktors are not relevant at this top place. Better at films. I added Frank Rautenbach.
Best.--Maxim Pouska (talk) 09:39, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
hello - more editing
« Le Bang-Bang Club est un mythe, glisse João. Il n’a jamais existé. Ce n’était que quatre potes qui voulaient témoigner d’un moment de l’Histoire... # "The Bang-Bang Club is a myth," says João. It never existed. It was only four friends who wanted to witness a moment of history. ...[1]
The same, but in other words expreced Greg Marinowich in his and Joao Silva book. Because of this I adding a section about the myth. Best.--Maxim Pouska (talk) 16:51, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
References
I find it amazing that an administrator has protected this article in a form which includes the section heading "The Bang-Bang Club in the words by Greg and João". That is not even correct English.
That section is not good. It contains nothing that needs to be in a section of its own, even if it were to be given a decent headline by a native or fluent English speaker. The person who has readded it several times does not seem to understand the text they are putting there, clearly because their English is not good. If Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva say, in a book that they wrote called "The Bang Bang Club", that the club does not exist, they are not actually literally denying the existence of the club.
A couple of sentences may find a place elsewhere in the article. See my edits doing just that. The section itself is not up to encyclopaedic standards and cannot be brought up to them. It must go. Xxctly (talk) 09:40, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
