re:Crime rate in South Africa.

According to statistics South Africa is one of the highest crime rated country. People get robbed, raped, shot dead almost everyday. Everyday there are articles in the newspapers about break INS, small kids being kidnapped and than found raped in bushes, robberies, which lead to death. Women even go to the extent of dumping their babies and killing their own child. And why? Because our country can’t provide houses for all those people on the street! We have a high unemployment rate. People are unable to make money the right way so they commit theft. People with sick minds commit rape. All the newspapers do is report all the crime. They never have articles on how to stop crime.

People are turning to corruption. Everyone wants money. Everything is about money. The more you have the more you want. And when you can’t get it, you steal it. By selling pirated DVDs, selling drugs and so on. The things that people will do just for a little money is ridiculous. People also take bribes for that little cash.

Crime in South Africa is increasing everyday. We are hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Who would want to come here when there is so much of crime? Why risk your life for a game. People will be scared of getting robbed, raped or even worst things that some sick people do. I deffinatly would not come to South Africa if I know that there is such a high crime rate.

I think that the government should provide labor for all those unskilled people in South Africa. The government should also provide houses for them. If everyone is earning money than we will have a crime free country. No one will have to steal money for a living.

I hope that you will agree with what I have said and help me make our country a better one to live in. We all want crime to stop, so we should all put a little effort in making that possible. If we all play our parts right than our environment will be a peaceful one to live in. At least people won’t be scared to leave their doors open and also to walk in the streets without having any fear.
