Ive been to Joburg many times (infact im going there for christmas ) and have never encountered anything. but talking to any of my sisters or neices, they have either had it happen to them, or to someone they personaly know, not stories. Its shocking really.

My neice got highjacked at gun point by a group of men that jumped out on them as they waited for the gate to open to the house. scary.

I guess it depends what part you go to? On the programme last night Louis was talking to two criminals and trying to find out why they did it and it all boiled down to money. They were happy to go as far as they felt was necessary in order to obtain money i.e. murdering people / burning them / murdering any children that happen to be with them...they had already done those things and the lack of remorse was quite chilling.

Even the citizens took it upon themselves to act like vigilantes because they felt the police didn't do anything / couldnt be trusted.

Hope you have a good holiday anyway

thanks!

my sister works in a hospital in durban, and she said that when she started there was 'only' about 1 gun shot victim being admitted a week. When she left afew years ago it had got to the stage where there were a few people being admitted every day with gun shot injuries/DOA. as far as i know, it has only got worse.

All my family want to leave, as my mom and dad did when I was 5.

So sad, its such a beautiful place. I really hope that they manage to keep it together for the world cup.
