Dying Violently in SA - Negative News

South Africans murders hit scary rate - Yahoo! News. This is more than a little over the top - it makes SA seem like a veritable war zone! There are major problems, but progress is being made - I do not live in a war zone (and I don't own a gun) despite what nutters like Charles Nqakula and Peter Gastrow seem to imply.

"The reasons seem to be unbelievably complex. There is no explanation that makes sense. The million dollar question is, 'Why?' If we could understand that we could start to fix it. But we can't. All we can do now is ask religious people to pray for us." ---Peter Gastrow
As always sensationalism sells, and bad news is good news for the media. For a positive spin, and some meaningful reporting, have a look at SA : The Good News.
