South Africans on Facebook were taken aback by how the criminals in the country are waging war against citizens. Some pointed out that the lack of leadership is the cause of such lawlessness.

Shontelle Nkwane exclaimed:

“Crime is out of control in South Africa.”

Lloyd Lazarus was hopeless.

“They will arrest the wrong people quickly so Bheki can appear on TV with his hat. Only eight months later will they be released. That’s the norm now.”

RG Seunane was shocked.

“Crime is out of control in Mzansi. IPID, Human Rights Commission, law, and the judiciary cause this. Things are still going to get worse.”
