Randolph Seems I'm not the only one who is sick of the crime problem. Journalist Tim Modise (see related link) is also getting annoyed. Incidentally, my mother and her neighbour were targets of crime last week – my dog didn't even bark as five motor vehicles were broken into and radios stolen or ignitions damaged.
The problem is crime, but the solution is not punishment (as Modise points out, the prisons are overcrowded enough as it is). The solution is education, and this is something that is affected by the lack of 600 schools in Gauteng province alone (front page of "The Star" today), and the very large percentage of teachers infected with HIV.
