  • There's growing alarm at the number of kidnappings being reported in South Africa. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    Holding people for ransom has become increasingly lucrative against a backdrop of economic hardship and political turmoil - and with the police struggling to get a grip - many South Africans are living in fear of abduction

    I visited South Africa 5 years ago. Me and my colleagues were robbed by men pausing as policemen on the highway. They had guns they took our money but did not harm us. Interesting enough we were with a friend whose boyfriend is a Burundian. When they took us to the police station we saw one of the robbers at the police station. He was a policeman 😢

      Death penalty is an indicator of a primitive, dysfunctional societies. If you look at which societies have the death penalty and which do not have it, you will see that all the most advanced and prosperous societies DO NOT have the death penalty (with the exception of some states within the USA).

    I’m Maggie’s sister and the actual person who appointed the private investigator SSS to assist with locating my sister during the kidnapping. For them to say they assisted with the negotiation is a big lie! It was a team of negotiators from the South African Police that assisted with negotiations. Even though we feel like we have been failed by the Police in the overall recovery of my sister, their efforts in negotiating cannot be ignored! The PI only assisted with some information of the whereabouts of Maggie but nothing that led to us finding Maggie. I understand it’s a marketing strategy but it is wrong for them to overstretch their services to what they didn’t do!

    South Africa's crime epidemic has now far surpassed being a police issue. In my opinion it is now a military issue. Since 1994 South Africa has been plagued with violent thugs terrorizing and killing people. The South African government needs to swallow its pride and declare a state of emergency. For goodness sakes, for the safety and well-being of South African, *PUT THE ARMY ON THE STREETS PERMANENTLY* unit the crime issues is resolved. I suggested they utilise a Northern Ireland operation banner type mission. It's long overdue now.

    This problem arises from the public's distrust of the police. Many people know who these criminal gangs are, where they live and even what they are planning. However, they are not willing to report them because they fear that;
    1. The police will leak their identities,
    2. The police won't do anything about it
    3. The police themselves are in on the act
    4. They see the police as the enemy
    Stopping rampant organised crime is about creating a community based intelligence network, and that can only be built when there's a trust relationship between the police and the community.

    Most of the people you see in this video are not South African. They are all foreign. There are no South Africans in downtown Jhb.

      With 80% of blacks still living in township 30 years after apartheid. Unemployed amongst blacks at near 60%. 80% of land still in white hands which I support by the way. 95% of the economy in white hands. The destruction of the African family system and values by increasing promotion of LGBTQ. A government hellbend on emasculating the Zulu man or Xhosa man making them into poofs, and you think things are going to get better?🤣🤣🤣 Lesotho.🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🌹❤🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸💯👍🏿

      Keep lying to yourself..😂😂, blame your issues on other African countries.😂😂. You should have let the white people keep on ruling you. The Blacks in South Africa have no sense.

      So all the police are foreigners ? Too many South Africans and tourists in comments are mentioning criminal cases where it has transpired the police were the kidnappers during the night, then posing as figures of justice during the day, even captains . No one mentioned the police were so called “foreigners”

      how about not using some fictional character that the majority of the world do not believe in , doing that gives you these situations, improve stuff yourself, stop waiting for some imaginary friend to do it, he won't
