Violent crime cannot be ignored any longer.

Violent crime cannot be ignored any longer.

The burden of fighting crime seems always to be put on the already burdened citizens of Johannesburg. Though they pay their taxes and spend much of their income on [security] they still end up being victims of crime.

Of course, when our leaders call them paranoid and "out of touch with reality" they remain victims of crime!

I wonder how better off we would have been if the Government of National Unity had had another term or two?
