Crime wave to hit South Africa, analysts warn

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) has warned that criminal activity is likely to increase in the country as a result of the increased load shedding.

To hit SA? It has been hitting us for years.

 

[gregmcc]

Nooooo way.

I'm shocked!

 

[Demented!]

Increase when it was already high

Anecdotally, most people say my area of living and area of work have more petty crime since lockdown.

I had one car break-in where they stole my Apple original lightning charging cable and authentic Dischem sunglasses. Both are very sought-after products on the black market and I imagine the criminal was able to retire on the proceeds.

And ironically it was crime that increased load shedding in the first place

 

[maxxis]

OH NO CRIME!

Anyways...

Someone please tell that moron cele because he probably can't read.

He must hurry and disarm the citizens so that his cadres have success in the new crime wave.

Years ago already the crime in South Africa was described as a low intensity war.

In the mean time the ANC let the rest of destitute Africa stream over our borders.

Gee, I wonder what could go wrong?

The cops don't patrol after curfew so it's no surprise criminals would be out there doing what they do best with no law abiding citizen in sight to hinder them. Loadshedding also happens after curfew so yeah, shocker.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Thank You Dr Johan Burger for pointing this out to us. As if we had not noticed it already

 

[Kosmik]

Loadshedding every 2 hours for a period 12 hours, my batteries ( alarm and gate) are going to be vrot . Going to need to wire a parralel one into the alarm.

10-12pm, 2-4am, 6-8am
