SA home sweet home to the world's criminals?

[dArKeR]

South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world and it seems this fact has not escaped international criminals, con artists, bank robbers and even the odd terrorist who have made this country their preferred place of residence.

To make matters worse, a senior official of the department of home affairs admitted they had no solutions to the growing problem.

From German con artist Jurgen Harksen to Symbionese Liberation Army member James Kilgore to American bank robbers Nova Guthrie and Craig Pritchert, all kinds of criminals have sought a haven in South Africa.

Of course, the fact that the success rate of the understaffed police in solving crimes is so poor may well have convinced many a foreign fugitive from justice to seek sanctuary here.

So we can conclude the Bush Crime Family and the Carlyle Group are well represented in SA!

2. I'm not surprised...

That country has fucking weak justice system. People responsible for the worst atrocities of Apartheid have only spent 1 or 2 years in jail.
