While the idea of a million-man march against crime may be a move to shake-up the authorities, the lethargic attitude of our government is also largely to blame. Owing to their complacency, the thieves, robbers, rapists and other criminals are having a field day.

 Another possible move is to sign a countrywide petition in which South Africans would be demonstrating their solidarity toward fighting crime. People should approach government to strengthen and increase the police force with an additional budget. The public should assist the police by erecting satellite police stations. However together with the ideas, the solution is to actually engage and seek practical implementation.
