Crime in South Africa – The True Figures

For reasons of its own our Government refuses to publish true statistics of the level of crime in SA. To speak or complain about crime earns you derogatory labels, ‘like-it-or-lump-it’ dismissals, instructions to leave the country or accusations of being unpatriotic.

A local website has set out to put the record straight and hope by doing so to force our President, Ministers and law enforcement agencies to take real action to stem this evil that is destroying our country’s future.

The founder of the site, Neil Watson, has received death threats, open hostility and the webpage has been hacked into but in the face of this he persists.

I believe he is brave and correct and if we are to stage major international events such as the 2010 Soccer World Cup the Government will realize that it cannot go on ignoring the truth and will have to act now!

Visit the site here and judge for yourselves. I believe most will join the campaign, offer support and spread the word.
