Dit is kommerwekkend hoe misdaad \u2013 veral gewapende roof, skietvoorvalle en geweld \u2013 in die Vrystaat toeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mense word helder oordag beroof. Rooftogte is aan die orde van die dag. \u2019n Geskietery kom links en regs voor, en motors word gesteel en gekaap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan praat ons nie eens van die grumoorde en verkragtings wat koerantopskrifte oorheers nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genadelose boewe sien kleiner dorpe en ondernemings al hoe meer as \u2019n teiken, en blyk geen bang haar op hul kop te h\u00ea nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onwettige wapens is maklik bekombaar, en owerhede hou hulle soms blind en doof vir die werklikheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misdaad kom so gereeld voor dat mense daarteen afgestomp raak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit is asof dit deesdae as gewoon aanvaar word. So normaal soos die koop van kruideniersware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dus raak dit al hoe meer noodsaaklik om waaksaam te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paraat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As burgers van \u2019n land waar misdaad al jare lank bly toeneem, is ons reeds versigtig \u2013 tog voel dit asof sake al hoe meer hand uitruk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skerp jou sekuriteit op. Tref voorsorgmaatre\u00ebls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons leef in uitdagende tye. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
