I wonder why he did so.

Normally this is not the way these gangsters/underworld types operate. They fight till the end - till they either get arrested or die in a hail of bullets.
 
i am going to actually buy the paper version of the Mail and Guardian today to read up on all of this. It sounds like fascinating stuff.
 
Who gets to speak to the head of the hawks before handing themselves over?

He spoke to Anwar Dramat before handing himself over.

We as ordinary people wouldn't get that opportunity.

if you were in hiding, they were looking for you and they couldn't find you; i don't see why you couldn't if you wanted to hand yourself in.

Most likely for his own protection. He's accused of killing a mob boss and Hawks found evidence he plotted it. He's a dead man walking, nowhere to run. If I were in his position I'd hand myself over too.

What I was trying to say is that this is not the way these gangster types normally operate (handing themselves over). This guy clearly had a lot of money - the house where he lived and where the Hawks found the hit list, was a four storey house!

So someone would that kind of money and gangster credentials, would much rather try to flee the country, or stay in hiding. Plus all that money can give you security / protection.
