This burning question has certainly come to the fore again during the past couple of weeks with the senseless murders of innocent people,mostly old and vulnerable people and sad to say, mostly white. Although the South African Governmant denies that crime is out of control, this situation has forced one of the countries biggest banking institutions,First National Bank to lauch a public anti crime campaign only to retract it before publishing. This in itself had raised controversy as the SA Government is one of the banks biggest customers and it thus appear that pressure was applied on FNB to retract the campaign. Although the Government strongly denies it, suspicion is rive and it bodes ill fortune for the countries “free press” policy.
Prominent South Africans has come to the fore to show their support in the anti crime campaign and momentum is gathering behind them. This situation cannot continue and this author will support any effort to curb the senseless crime against civilians.
Add your voice – apply international pressure on the SA Government – help save this country.
