Can we really be THAT bad?

Our own statistics tell us that South Africa has the highest peace-time murder and rape levels in the world.

So how come life here is so good?

Today is Nelson Mandela's 91st birthday and it's being celebrated around the world partly because he's the most recognised symbol of reconsiliation in our times.

But many of our people - black and white - live in fear of their lives because of a small but evil element.

In this blog I hope we can discss the issues that created not only our bad situation but look for solutions and hope.

In particular I want to give overseas visitors comfort that they are coming to a warm and safe country and give them tips that will make them less vulnerable to the few who have destroyed our reputation.
