The article is unfortunately true. Some people, even in South Africa, just seem to conveniently have their head’s in the sand for the ‘false security’.

I live in Cape Town and this is absolute hogwash. Yes, we have a crime problem, but not even vaguely near the level as described in this badly researched amateur article.

I do not have worries when my children walk alone in the streets in the area where I live. My wife and I regularly go for walks in our neighbourhood. It is a pleasant peaceful area and I do not remember when last someone that I know was a victim of crime.

Come and visit our beautiful country and come and see for yourself!

I’m the first to resent untrue remarks about my country.
However the man only had the newspapers name wrong, everything else is unfortunately true.
You can go to any South African’s newspapers website and find exactly the same story even worse more brutal and more mindless.
There is no way that this can be denied.
We must fix the problem not deny it.
