There's a kind of hush over South Africa today. On the one hand we are holding our breath for the ailing 94 year old Nelson Mandela and on the other hand we are happy to see Pres Obama in South Africa. I'm feeling depressed by the latest crime reporting in our area - a couple of hours ago someone was attacked by an armed robber two streets away in their home in broad daylight while watching TV and shot in the leg. Our local policing forum is on full alert 24/7 with their their hands full out in the freezing cold nights, and doing a sterling job trying to cover a radius of about 8 sq kms to keep our community safe with the assistance of the patrol cars of numerous security companies and the meagre police force in this area.
We are praying for our community, our suburb, our city and our country, but only God knows what is going to happen if this continues ! Electric Fencing, alarm systems, dogs, patrol cars and policing forums don't even deter these people anymore. The jails are full, the justice system cannot cope, there is a moratorium on crime reporting and people have to fend for themselves, while corruption grows in the police force. Who will hold our Government accountable ?
I don't think this is what Nelson Mandela had in mind when he shook hands with FW de Klerk in 1990
