Many of us have been enormously successful here and could quite literally come back there to retire, but knowing how our hard earned affluence would attract the violent crime even more, we are forced to evaluate Aus or similar as final destinations which sucks.

Like most people, my wife and I were victims of crime and the apathy and corruption of SA officials annoys us. Having looked at both your and crimeexposa website, I have to say the latter gets my vote.

Sadly, whilst their approach is extreme and perhaps vindictive, it also grabs headlines and has been splashed across the pages of the TNT expat magazine in london today and will be read by at least 2,000,000 Southern Hemisphere expats and Londoners. It will unfortunately take more than just hoping and imploring an ambivalent government to do something, so maybe the corrupt SA "politicians" might act when their tourism revenue stream proves difficult to pilfer because it has dried up. I wish you luck and hope you can stay crime unaffected, but I think your naivity is misguided. there are many of us here that want to come home - we're just not willing to die for the privelege, so bring on the drastic measures!
