Q4NVS, I don't want to downplay the numbers (they are shocking) but the comparison with Iraq doesn't quite hold. Iraq has a population of roughly 26.7 million, which means the death rate per 100 000 for Iraqi civilians and security forces is approximately 89. SA, with a population of roughly 45 million has a death rate per 100 000 people of roughly 43 per 100 000 people due to murders. So, while not quite as dangerous as Iraq it is unacceptably high!!!!
Cry, the beloved country.....
