RE: LATEST SOUTH AFRICAN CRIME FIGURES
Your crime example is a really excellent illustration what it means when the state is near-defunct. The police doesn't take petty theft very seriously here, either, but it would be difficult to get away with car theft, not to mention a homicide. Speaking of homicides, how likely is the police to catch a killer?
very unlikely unless we caught him in the act or shot him for them. Everyone who is a citizen here has their fingerprints taken for their identity documents. that doesn't really help as I know people who have taken names of other people to become nationalized. This happened post 1994 when the government wanted extra people for polling numbers. Basically how accurate their systems are is a guess so no guarantees whether fingerprints will match the correct person anyway.
