Power in numbers is usually a good step, get together with a small group who have similar concerns at a grass roots level, setting up small groups around the country. Then club together as an organisation so that you can place an eye catching full page advertisement in a national newspaper for others to join your group (a thinly veiled slur on the politicians) this would permit you to reach out to even more people. Hopefully it'll attract the attention of the local media station who may wish to get you 'on air' as "The organisation that is daring to speak openly about RSA modern day problems that the politicians dare not admit". With so many people you could then hit back at the criminals. Offer free legal advice to those members who are accused when they were merely acting in self defence. This will allow you to hit back and then hide behind the legal aspect. Start compiling your records and statistics about crime so that you act upon it with private security groups in and around neighbourhoods, etc.
