Despair over inane shooting
25 February 2007 PHINDILE CHAUKE
As a young Melville restaurant manager fights for his life after being shot in the head at work, his shattered family and colleagues are asking why he had to pay such a heavy price during a robbery.
Tom Sundawo, a manager at the Dros restaurant, was shot by robbers last Sunday morning and is in a critical condition at Milpark Hospital’s intensive care unit.

Crime rate goes ballistic

Today Metro publishes crime statistics that paint a grim picture of Gauteng as an increasingly violent place to live — a province riven by crimes motivated by greed and carried out with unreasoning brutality.
These are not dry statistics — they are evidence that our fears are not unfounded. The figures also show that traditional policing methods have not been effective
Crime in Gauteng has spiralled out of control.
Metro has established that, in the midst of a major anti-crime offensive between October and December:
Armed house robbery increased by 29%;
Armed business robbery rose by 30%;
Bank robbery was up by 50%;
Murder rose by 8.5%; and
Rape increased by 4.9%.
