My name is Malan Jacobs, I'm 21 years old (Source) and I'm a third year BComm LLB student at the University of Stellenbosch. I've started True Crime Expo SA in August 2006, as a reaction to a website called Crime Expo SA, which was closed down in December 2007. I have decided to refocus my website, rather than to close it.

Two years and 100 000 visitors later and with an average of 100 daily visitors at present, True Crime Expo SA is established as one of the leading South African websites with content on crime. The website will be updated regularly with latest news from various news sources and with new articles and feedback from people willing to share their views.

My vision for this site is

• to stimulate balanced debate on the crime situation in South Africa.
• to promote solutions to the crime problem such as neighbourhood watches etc. without exonerating the government of their responsibility.
• to provide a resource for people who do research on crime in South Africa.
• to promote positive developments in South Africa without downplaying the graveness of the crime crisis.
