Crime fears grow as South Africa readies for football World Cup | World news | The Guardian
The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Saturday 26 September 2009
In the article below about rising crime in South Africa we reported that business thefts rose by 41% between 2007-08 and 2008-09, and residential burglaries by 27%. In fact, these are the figures for business and residential robberies, which include the direct threat or use of violence by the perpetrator. The comparable figures for burglaries – that is, acts where no direct threat of violence is involved – are an 11.1% rise for businesses and a 3.7% rise for residences.
You might be immune to this, but to most people, like a C.X. flight attendant or anyone from the first world, this is a frightening read
