Thank you, @bloomberg215, much appreciated. You're right - crime in this country has a lot to do with corruption at the top ("a fish rots from the head"). What might be harder to see is how amazing and resilient South Africa's people are, and how close to the breaking point they are with this government. They have had it with being patsies for a bunch of thieves. We're in for interesting times here. But ultimately this is a great country because of South Africans themselves.
