Debating Crime in SA

Ok, I have finally motivated myself to add something to this fledgling blog. This a surprisingly interesting piece ( atleast to me) by BBC regarding the dabate on what is the best way for businesses to address the high crime rate in South Africa. So, who is really to blame for the high crime rate? Can you continue to blame the effects of aparteid for the current state of affairs in South Africa. And if you can, how long can this excuse be used before citizens take complete responsiblity for the state of their communities. Why does a bank need to motivate citizens to voice their opinions to the government? Or is it the governments fault for not acting on its own. The high crime rate is not a secret to anyone, why does the government need to be convinced to act. I will let you read the article to come to you own conclusions.
