The Citizen

Dear Sir
Crime in South-Africa.
I am a concerned South-African citizen and after reading a few articles in your newspaper on crime, I feel that I should view my opinions.
Crime is increasing day by day and I am really concerned about this as innocent people are being attacked as well as tourists and something should be done about this as soon as possible, or else due to crime, the 2010 world cup could be a failure.
After recording crime statistics for a week (16-23 July) I have came to the following conclusion:
• When people are being robbed, not only are they losing their possessions to these criminals, but also their lives.
• Rape and abductions take place almost every day.
• Police officers are being killed as well.
• Fraud, Vandalism and bribery and corruption are also a major problem.

We therefore need to put a stop to crime and it should be our goal to create an anti-crime South-Africa. Perhaps the law of death penalty should be brought back to instil a fear in criminals.

Yours concerned
Miss A Moosa
