Whether or not CESA are telling the truth or not... one thing is not a lie and that there is a problem with the crime situation of RSA. You try to justify the murder rate in South Africa of that of Israel.....what a joke..... Where is the war in South Africa????? Get your nose out of your ass and smell the blood around you. Post this and leave our comment. Xpat

I absolutely agree with you Dru. I left SA about 2 years ago to go the the UK, and until I got out of SA I did not realize the extent of the fear and crime we live in each day. For the first time in my life I can now walk home in the dark and not have to keep looking behind me.
Yes, there is crime everywhere...but it is not right having to keep your gate locked and wait to have someone with you before you go out somewhere.

I'm moving back to SA soon and it's going to be a heck of an adjustment going from absolute freedom and confidence to hiding behind closed doors again. Not exactly ideal is it?

It would seem that the SA strategy to sort out a VERY apparent problem, that is, violent crime – is – to deny it.

From our experience people in South Africa have gotten into “pretend mode”, that is to protect yourselves from the unreal lifestyles you hold

Homes with bars an every window and rape gates
Locking yourself in cars as soon as you are on the road
Driving through red lights in-case of attack
Children’s play “zones” with razor wire to keep out attackers

And the list goes on & on & on

It would seem that this has become the “norm” for people living in South Africa but I can assure you, it is NOT the norm by world standards.

South Africa is a beautiful country but is plagued with crime which is mostly, violent crime.

Don’t lie in hope of attracting more tourists; sort out the problems you are faced with and people WILL want to come because they will feel safe to enjoy the country.

Moving out of denial is the first step forward to addressing the problem.

A country at war with itself: Antony Altbeker

Getting behind the statistics to offer a sober and sobering account of the scale of the crime problem and its evolution, the book describes how government has sometimes sought to deal with the crisis and sometimes sought to deny its existence. The book ends with some suggestions of what needs to be done to deal with this scourge. Buy
