Gus > A new wave of violence in Guatemala's streets I agree, SA isn't like Guatemala, but we're not doing badly all the same. Just give us a bit more time. iss.co.za >>By global standards, South Africa has extraordinary high levels of violent crime, according to 1997 Interpol statistics. In 1997, South Africa had the highest per capita rates of murder and rape, the second highest rate of robbery and violent theft (after the Bahamas), and the fourth highest rates of serious assault and sexual offences, of the 110 countries with crime levels listed by Interpol.<< Anyway, I just wanted to make the point that "development" can hardly be expected to occur in such an environment and that climate wasn't the only factor holding Africa back.
