Crime in SA - part 2

There's an old respected intellectual who recently said in spirit apartheid was actually a
perfect plan? Shocking!

About crime, I suspect I will be rehashing arguements I have made before (and therefore sound like a broken record). Like in Kenya, there are those within the law enforcement system that wouldnt want to eliminate crime...otherwise how would they
a) (if they are clean) justify the huge budgets for purchasing ammunition, fuel and staff members
b) (if they are not so clean) create wealth through short circuiting the policing system.

Approached from another angle, the rise of the wealthy class of blacks in the 30-50s and beyond had, to a limited extent, to do (at best) with very dubious activities. That many of the liberation
movement stalwarts had a finger in some of these activities is a well known fact. Townships like Alexander and Sophiatown thrived on a little artistic and alot of criminal activities. Of course that part of history is continously being sanitized because some things dont easily fall within a black-white categorization. Here is an example, in the early 60s most of the top brass in the ANC either owned a gun or could easily access one. Infact, as we speak, there's an effort to excavate several farms in Lilliesleaf farm in Rivonia to see if they can find Madiba's see

Some say a lot of the money that went into fighting apartheid may have been generated via dubious means. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/4085683.stm or

Simply, with crime many seem to feel there's no end in sight.
