Karl Marx hypothesised that Communism cannot be created without first destroying any existing political and social structure.
South Africa's present communist "government" is currently doing just that - they are intelligent enough to realise that an attempt to destroy South Africa'a existing structure by force would have resulted in total destruction for themselves - so it is being done in a far more insiduous manner - in the name of "equity & redress".
A methodical attack in being carried out on (inter alia) education and health - as well as on the general attitudes and moral principles of the country.
Many thousands of educators have already been fired, despite statements by our geriatric president that "no teacher would lose their jobs while [he] is president"!
The Red Cross Childrens' Hospital in Cape Town is under real threat of closure - despite the fact that it is the only specialist childrens' hospital in Africa!
Our economy (largely due to our hard-line communist minister of finance) is in tatters!
We have the highest number of violent crimes in the world - and criminals are cossetted - the courts and police are powerless to act against the perpetrators.
Is it not time that ordinary, decent, law-abiding citizens did something to stop this destruction????
One in 50 hijackings ends in conviction
FOR every seven murders reported in SA only one ends in a conviction, and for every 50 car hijackings reported only one conviction results,
official police figures show.
NOTABLE
While one in 13 reported rapes results in conviction, only one in 34 armed robberies and one in 50 car thefts ends in conviction.
The figures - from official police data - track the criminal justice system's performance between January 1996 and June last year. They show that conviction rates improved fractionally over this period.
However, police do not normally release conviction rates in this form. Instead, they measure convictions not as a ratio of reported crimes, but as a ratio of cases sent to court. This method essentially absolves the police of blame when conviction rates are low and puts prosecutors in the firing line instead.
The police's preferred method shows that, over the same period, police referred 8% to 9% of recorded car hijacking cases to court. Of those, 25% ended in convictions.
About one in two reported murders was brought to court, 32% of which ended in convictions. About 43% of rape cases ended up in court, of which one in six resulted in a conviction. Twelve percent of armed robbery cases went to court, of which between 20% and 25% ended in convictions.
