A quick look at crime statistics :

Lee Rondganger and Linda Daniels

Between April last year and March this year 18 793 South Africans were murdered, 54 926 were raped and 119 726 were violently robbed.

On Wednesday, however, Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula said the "future looks even rosier than the present".

Frightening is what I call it. Little wonder that SA Citizens are worried, especially when they get a statement such as that above - even if taken out of context.

UK Stats:
Murders 850
Murders with firearms 62
Murders with firearms (per capita) 0.00102579 per 1,000 people
Rapes 8,593
Rapes (per capita) 0.142172 per 1,000 people

US Stats:
Murders 12,658
Murders with firearms 8,259
Murders with firearms (per capita) 0.0279271 per 1,000 people
Rapes 89,110
Rapes (per capita) 0.301318 per 1,000 people

Pack up and leave statement ( video-wmv ) from Nqakula.
