South Africa Crime

I was just watching a BBC documentary about Crime in South Africa and the lack of law enforcement seems really ridiculous. People attacking one another, robbery, rapes, kidnappings and more on a very regular basis. It does not matter who you are, class, color or region where you live - they attack you. One doctor said that in just a week one of his friends was murdered and another three were robbed and beaten.

This is a country that I do not wish to go anytime soon. The reports of crime (rape, particularly) are extremely disturbing. Every 20 seconds a woman is raped there. I do not see much being done about it to stop this situation.
