And what they don't tell you about it, is that it was worse under Apartheid. It is a sad fact, that under Apartheid the law did not apply for everyone and some got away with murder, torture or any other crime, if it was just against no privilaged white system man.
Today, at least the offender needs more brain than those he attacks. We seperate from animals by intelligence and because no racist will admit his crimes as much as a people liberating itself from racist rule insisting no matter the argument on their privilages to let others have the work done wihout sharing any profit, creating an environment in which the smart can defeat the stupid means to create a system more humaine even so based on simnple natural selection instead of ideals.
There are no trustworthy numbers available from Aprartheid rule on any crime, because a crime statistic only reflects the registered offences or claimed offences of which under Apartheid many were not even reported onto paper or any database. The crime statistic is also not the judge rulings and a pretended theft is still a theft in a Polce crime statistic.
There are other laws that are easier to apply and more difficult to trick. Those of physics, those of mathematics and those of sociology.
Areas like underdeveloped townships may not see old Buuren wipes again or they trigger deadly counter violance. Volunteers must be voted and be like a Sherriff with Deputies to be no alien to the neighbourhood as much as administrative systems need to be stronger based and placed into communities to port them further away from Apartheid rule to Clan or Tribe coltoure that also was home to the Resistance.
Slave runners take salves out of lazyness. It is easier to use a gun in the face of a man to have im work on a field than to do that yourself especially if the field is proclaimed by gun right, too. This is how every slave nation started and they all also fall by gun law.
The crime was and in many cases most likely is created by Apartheid racists. The end of Apartheid is not pushed through society and many managed to hide or cover their crimes.
Everything and everyone needs to ge more bussy, there must be more life and laughter, more party and more activity like sports, gospels and arts visible and in everyonce face and quickly the lazy will be visibly from the bussy, the anti-social parasitea from the social communities, lovers from the jelous
even so it will mean Death before Dishonour to dancing lovers celebrating a bussy week and not only knights aka freedom fighers aka Resistance Members for some time.
