South Africa is one of the most criminally violent countries. With around 50 murders, 100 rapes, nearly 400 armed burglaries and over 500 violent assaults recorded every day, it is not surprising that as many as eight out of ten South Africans feel unsafe walking in their own districts after dark.
And it used to be worse: since the end of apartheid in 1994, the murder rate has fallen by half. Yet such improvements are marred by the appalling number of police officers being accused of serious crimes.
