Rising toll of violence: Silence will make us victims

Another person in the limelight loses his life in a violent manner and we are reminded of the troubled times our country finds itself in. This is because we are living in the Wild West. It seems only the layman is aware of the severity of crime and the government is in the dark. But they are fast to come to the light when policing has done the work to reclaim our street; only for the judiciary to release the same people who hold the country hostage.

But they are fast to come to the light when policing has done the work to reclaim our street; only for the judiciary to release the same people who hold the country hostage.Weekly, in townships, tents go up and church choirs belt out sombre songs to bury those who succumbed to the crimes of this land.The crimes have become more brazen. It is with greater frequency that we hear “…he died in a hail of bullets”.

Somehow make them see that, regardless of the glitz and glam portrayed by the underworld figures, television stars and the television productions, we need to strip the criminals of their fame.We should not confuse their notoriety as being popular. We ought to recognise them as the scum that hold the country hostage and keep us to a comfort that only they will allow.
