So basically the Gangsters paradise, I mean Gauteng Province, home to most urban, corporate & domestic crime has a spill over to rural.. woah, I’d have never guessed criminals would realize what easy targets farmers are vs urban sprawl scenarios.. and the NorthWest adjacent to it account for a large %.
I will stick to my story, this a crime issue.. SA gov, especially under Zuma squandered cash for deals so that there can be corruption and fraud rather than spending it on things that can be tracked such as policing. It’s the norm in Africa and SA is part of the continent.
The sad reality of SA post 94’ is that people(white, black, purple, green, etc) have shown that they are pathetic at self governance and will abuse the system where they see fit. So next time you the reader see some moron (could be yourself?) do as they please on the road, realize that this comes with the fact that if someone hijacks and kills them.. it’s all the same, s/he(female hijackers? They usually walk into roads to stop people in WC) is doing as s/he please as they did. Different scales of the same.
Personally I think SA needs a government that will not tolerate any form of lawlessness (that includes your etoll) but that’s just me. While people make grey areas for petty or administrative crime, the is another person doing the same for major crime and the cycle will continue. Yes this is brutal.. but after the failed experiment of having the freedom do as we please I think we need to go back.
