because you care

I often am concerned about the crime rate in South Africa and I wonder what is the government doing about it. And what can I do to make a difference?

A Devi Rajab article in the Mercury newspaper yesterday (local South African paper) reminded me of my concerns. In her article she tells of how she overheard youngsters planning a hijacking, her confrontation of them and their life issues. There is alot of truth in this article and learning for us all.

Please take some time to read it and let me know what you think.

Devi believes South Africa 's high crime rate is due to the high unemployment levels and the lust of the 1st world life - flashy cars, big house and lots of money.

I have always been of the opinion that poverty is one of the strongest factors that lead towards crime. As a single citizen I wonder how can I make a difference? I know that I can try consider the "criminals" differently, at least as humans. And I can realise that I am truly blessed for the life that I have been born into.
