Crime: towards a blogging solution
Published by yojules July 26th, 2006 in GeneralI just read Mike Stopforth’s latest blog on how blogsters of the world are approaching crime in South Africa, and internationally. I’ve been listening, with rising irritation, to radio talk shows chatting about that bloke who has set up a website on South African crime that discourages tourists to come here and is lobbying for the 2010 World cup to be taken away from South Africa.
I’m amazed that any patriotic South African would recommend solutions that will only worsen the lot of the people here - dry up a really well-needed revenue source so that we have even less money available to address the issues of which crime is a symptom.
Mike has connected in to the international response to sites like those and reveals some intriguiging insights! Do go play: click here

Well - I’m a proud South African and I couldn’t imagine another country I’d rather live in.
As I’m sure many others that have travelled would know, crime is NOT just a South African problem.
If those of us still living here instead of emigrating with our tails between our legs dont send out a positive message for our country, no one esle is going to come along and do it for us… .
Typically, an opportunity presents itself namely 2010, and those who LOVE to winge start shouting the odds. What always amazes me in these situations is how much energy is wasted on negativity. Why not use that energy to come up with solutions to the problems and MAKE SOME MONEY!!!!This way we we all benefit!!! So jules, take what the wingers are saying and make some magic!!!
