On Sunday, the SAPS Beitbridge Task team arrested two suspects who were found with explosives near the N1 road in Musina. They had 247 blasting cartridges, 1,250 connector capped fuses, and seven reels of detonating cords on them.
That’s just to show you that crime has gone absolutely wild in South Africa, where apparently anyone is allowed to keep and bear arms. Given the prevalence of what appear to be criminals, we have no idea where we could safely make a quick escape. People have said on social media that criminals who are able to commit crimes in the country are actually helping the police.
It’s tragic since the cops have weapons that are larger than the ones the criminals are using to kill them. There are constantly reports of people crossing the border armed, but it’s hard to imagine how they manage to accomplish it. There have been reports that people are paying money to border guards so they can bring guns into the country.
This clearly demonstrates that money is the only thing that matters to people in South Africa. Some have said that their actions prove they are willing to sell the country to foreign invaders in exchange for safe passage to carry out mass murder. That’s why there are those who believe all criminally implicated police officers should be fired immediately.
For this reason, many internationals express a lack of interest in visiting South Africa, citing the country’s high crime rate and poor treatment of its citizens as reasons. This is quite upsetting since it appears that we are increasingly meeting our deaths at the hands of those whose job it is to protect us.
People are arguing that the two suspects who were just arrested shouldn’t get any special treatment and should have to divulge who they’ve been working with.
