SOUTH AFRICA IS NOT FOR SISSIES!!!! |
|
Pat 1st September 2010 |
Yup. I've lived here for 43 years but it's time now. The ANC have had their chance and they've blown it. Mark my words. In ten to fifteen years there will be nothing left. It will be worse than Zimbabwe. I love this country but I will not live under the ANC. Second highest murder rate in the world. Top of the rape list. Why? Because instead of investing in our greatest natural resource, our people, the money is spent on cars, houses and personal fortunes for the ruling elite. Very sad. I have no reason to stay anymore. There isn't a single country in Africa that can lay claim to anything even remotely resembling success. South Africa is really the last country in Africa to achieve freedom from white rule, and the people, sadly, know little and have everything to learn. For the past sixteen years I have lived in hope, but that hope is now gone. |

I think you should add a stat: Goverment Corruption SA would take top spot |

We left southern Africa to live in Australia, We left because we had been car jacked, robbed and shot at a numerous amount of time ... my mother was shot and my best friendssister was raped. Its such a shame . South Africa is such a beautifull country. :( |

South African living in Australia (currently in Germany) To everyone comparing South Africa to countries such as, USA, Australia, NZ etc.. DONT! These countries don't come close to the crime rate of South Africa.. To honestly believe that Australia is just as bad as SA in terms of crime, well I suggest you travel a bit so you know what SAFE really means. I have travelled a lot and no where have I ever felt as unsafe as in South Africa.. |

I THINK AFTER WATCHING CARTE BLANCHE ON SUNDAY, IT HAS BECOME CLEAR TO ALL. THAT CRIME IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL IN SOUTH AFRICA, ANYONE WISHING TO INVEST HERE WOULD BE NUTS TO, UNLESS HE IS A CRIMINAL ALREADY. A TRULY SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS |

I think, that anyone who left the country- is someone who was too afraid to try and make a difference! South Africa is the best, the film industry is growing, the crime is being controlled and we are continuously showing the world how great we are! BACK OFF! even America has gangs and crimes, australia is now the fattest country and the rest of the world suffers from natural disasters! |

LOL@Croba 13th July 2010 |
Those are dates, not the number of people given the death penalty! Wonder what the stats say about average levels of intelligence? YOU make South Africa look bad... |
|
Croba 7th July 2010 |
You stats are wrong for South Afriva the deasth penalty doesnt even exist. fin someone else to make look bad. shame on you |

Sadly, South Africans are generally so gullible and naive! Crime in South Africa in the political "Apartheid" era was largely restricted to the informal settlements and designated townships, ie. crimes amongst the black people. Now the barriers containing crime in those traditional areas have been removed and now freely roams the streets anywhere and everywhere. White Caucasian settlements around the world benefit from lower crime rates - FACT! It's a genetic thing, but many would not understand this! |

I'm a proud white South African. Please open your eyes and see that there is alot of people trying hard to make this country work. We are hosting a great World Cup and your bitterness is not needed.Yes i have been affected by crime. |

SAfrican_Abroad 25th June 2010 |
That country is full of savages and corrupt officials. I am glad I left when I did. |
|
MonstersInTheMist 15th June 2010 |
Crime in SA seems to be well under control. I see no reason not to allow them to solve their own problems. Of course it's probably not wise for caucasion people to remain in SA. Short of radiation contamination, which won't happen. The land will still be there when all of the crime has ceased, ready to be returned to productivity. |

LETS SOLVE IT ALL AND STOP POLICALLY CORRECT. |

South Africans are treated fairly throughout the world, yet if the world visits south africa , it will find racism is ripe! |
|
Tyler 4th June 2010 |
4get leave if ur white and stay if ur black, the ANC are going to stuff up the whole country for everyone regardless of race. They only care about themselves. Does anyone honestly think the ANC cares about their 'black brothers?' |
|
Whitey 24th May 2010 |
Yes, well that's the whole point isn't it? if you are White you should leave, if you are Black you should stay. |
|
Proud SA 23rd May 2010 |
Haha, I love all the idiots who now say it is time to leave SA due to the crime. You obviously thought it was all fine during the apartheid era when crime was covered up by white police, the infrastructure only had to support 5% of the population, and black school kids were shot amd murdered by police. In my estimation, I far prefer SA today than what it was. |
|
Glenn 10th May 2010 |
If our crime was as low as these stats suggest my family & I could cancel our plans for leaving SA. But I think not! |
|
Glenn 10th May 2010 |
Damn, if these were the true stats my family & I would not have to leave SA. But sadly any fool can see that we have way more crime than these suggest. |
|

Crime is one of the major reasons is why I emigrated. It is said to see the way the country is going with no light at the end of the tunnel. |
|
Tola 6th April 2010 |
This looks like one of the externally clean pots with dirts in the interior, I'm afraid... |

It doesn't matter how much you love SOuth Africa. If you're white South Africa does not love you |

MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY SOUTH AFRICA. MY HEART IS BROKEN BECAUSE I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE FALLING APART. YOUR INFASTRUCTURE IS GOING. SO IT YOUR EDUCATION AND HEALTH SERVICES. JUSTICE IS FADING AWAY, PROTECTION IS GOING TOO. HOW VERY SAD. GOD HELP US ALL. |
|
Hard Rain 7th March 2010 |
You are right not to believe these statistics. The majority of crimes in SA are NEVER reported. Things are WORSE than this page can even say!! SA has gone to the dogs... |
|

Proudly SA 11th December 2009 |
Regardless of the crime her in SA, there is no place like home! I LOVE MY COUNTRY and we should all work together to try and solve this. |

Stats are based on incentives of the "expert" providing the stats. We know that between 1990 and 1996 Atlanta (US) under reported all its crimes stats and 22 000 doc on crime went missing. So, it depends how powerful a country you are and which "expert" is brown-nosed by who. |
|
peter 5th October 2009 |
I share the question with Stan. Demonstrate the in-accuracy of statistics especialy regarding crime stats from South Africa. Anyway it means between 59 and 87 murders PER DAY !!! |
|
it does not make sence 8th September 2009 |
Im am trying to understand the stats with respect to murders for South Africa. Murders 21,553 [1st of 49] Murders with firearms 31,918 [1st of 36] Should not murders with firearms be a sub category of all murders, and therefore should always be less that all murders. or should you split the murder into murder without firearm and murder with firearm.
