I want a safer South Africa. I want politicians to focus on violent criminals, not punishing ordinary South Africans. I want crime to be top of the political agenda. Please sign up and we will send a letter prepared by us to the politician/s of your choice.
Violent crime has been out of control in South Africa for decades.
With 86 murders per day and 5 rapes per hour, it is time to put the combating of violence back on the agenda.
