According to statistics the level of crime has dropped in South Africa. However, actual crime in our society is a reality.

The man in the street is the person most affected. Each day we see and hear of this reality of criminal activity when our neighbour, friend, and most of all, when we either become a victim or somebody who has survived to be able to tell the story.

I assume the government is still of the opinion that crime is in control and that the police are in full control of the situation. This is definitely not the situation. South Africans have become so immune to robbery and criminal activity that only when someone is killed then it is regarded as a case to be recorded.  

Hundreds of murder cases have not been solved and only a very small percentage of ruthless killers have been brought to book. This is a very frightening, dangerous and sad situation.
