That is actually sad and I understand exactly where it's coming from:
-----------------
“I felt sorry for him because he is facing so many cases he cannot keep up,” said Kotze. “I wasn’t interested in the case either. I don’t want to be involved in trying to find people who are brazen, with no regard for the law. I never had anything to do with that dark side of South Africa.
“I want nothing to do with the case. I just hope they learnt their lesson and feel bad for shooting someone innocent,” Kotze said.
He said he had become despondent about crime in the country.
“I believe it’s not a matter of ‘if’ you are affected by crime; it’s a matter of ‘when’. And when it happens you just hope it’s something minor and you escape with your life. Since my incident, I have already had friends and family being affected by crime in varying degrees.

Yes, we can't keep up with crime in South Africa. Policing and crime intelligence is ineffective. People are keeping low, they don't want to be associated with anything that may affect the syndicates because life means squat. In turn no information goes into the system unless essential, for where there are stats (a lot of areas have no meaningful stats). In turn next year, the cops release declining figures, "we are winning ...".
This country is very broken. Our toleance for criminals has allowed to to easily prey on good people. No wonder he wants to get out. Something has to change or it will break.
