Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor

Crime in South Africa is getting worst by the day.We have been liberated for over ten years,yet we live like prisoners in our own homes.There is not enough being done to stop it and crimes become more violent year after year.

Recently, the crime statistics over the past year have been released, an yet there is an improvement, it is very minute. I personally feel that the death penalty should be introduced and this would make a drastic change to the statistics.

If we look at places such as Dubai and countries like Jordan, they are virtually crime free. You can walk at anywhere and and any time and not feel the fear that you might be robbed, raped or murdered. This is mainly because of the strict laws they have and as time went by, these laws became a guideline.

South Africa should seriously re-check its crime or pay the consequence of a 2010 SoccerWorld Cup flop

Yours Sincerely
