FIVE HELD AFTER RAPE & MURDER OF A TEENAGER

Ok, so we all know that crime is through the roof here in South Africa. The Government keeps giving us statistics which would indicate that they are winning the war against crime, but then when you read the daily newspapers, it is quite evident that they are not winning anything, let alone the war on crime!

My problem here though, is this is an extremely violent crime, twice over - firstly the rape and then the murder of a young girl and it seems to have been committed by teenagers. What is happening to our youth, that their innocence has been lost at such a young age. That they are so angry at the world that they have to turn to such violence in order for them to exist?

If this is what we as a nation have to look forward to, going into the future - we are in serious trouble!
