kokey: your quoting of news articles of crime incidents in the UK is most amusing. A couple of hundred crimes per day in the entire UK vs. literally thousands of crimes a day in SA just doesn't compare. So, while you may have been here on and off I can personally vouch that crime has indeed increased. You are entitled to your opinion, but remember you are several million times less likely to be a victim of intentional violent crime in the UK than here.

xtermin8or I especially like the part where they've searched over 90 000 people for firearms. It would be nice to have more of that. Less guns is good for us all.

Big deal:
When it came to Operation Nude Ants by-law enforcement, 11 682 hawkers were fined, perishable goods (fruit and vegetables) seized from 9 850 street vendors and non-perishable goods from 17 576.

What has this got to do with anything, we're talking murders, attempted murders and hijacking, and all you can talk about are hawkers - hahaha
