Crime Expo

[Ammended: 9:15pm]

Crime Expo South Africa is attracting a fair amount of attention of late. With good reason. South Africa relies on tourism and foreign investment for growth, notwithstanding 2010, when we have the honour of hosting the greatest game on earth 🙂 But how long can we pretend that all’s well when there’s serious trouble [not without good evidence] in paradise?

What’s more troubling though are the many responses to the site from people of all walks of life.

find more “civilised” :p debate at:

The Civic Platform
or
The Unbroken Barometer

I find it deeply troubling [irony aside] that many “peaceful” saffers would advocate crime [hacking] as a solution to combat something they don’t like. Oops. Although not meant to be serious and more said out of frustration or bursts of emotion, i do hope the site remains up and gets tested against time. further, this site is a showcase for our tolerance and commitment to democracy and freedom of speech. so let it be…
personally, i’m already bored with that site that ‘cos it’s just so negative- it ruins my day completely! but that doesn’t mean i’m not ignoring crime- that’s still a big issue for me. i need something to be done about it… but i’m pretty sure there are better ways of doing it…
