    I am South African and was born here. Even keeping the emotional issues aside, let's look at some facts about life here. Every 30 seconds a woman is raped in S.A. (this is not a true figure as many never even report a rape). Twenty (20) people are killed every day from gunshot wounds. If you do not barricade yourself into your house/home at night, you will not sleep well or safely, no matter what neighbourhood you stay in. You cannot go for a walk in the mountain here around C.T. (we had 3 attacks in the last weeks on walkers/joggers). If you walk around at night - take your chances. Police ? well, they just can't cope. Justice ? Well, they are overloaded and can't cope. Jails ? overflowing and can't cope. Hope you get the picture.
