Mahatma Ghandi Spinning In His Grave

Bringing to mind Idi Amin's Uganda, where he killed off all the Indian merchants , a recent national survey shows that Indian South Africans are bearing the brunt of crime in South Africa.

The survey also revealed that close to 90% of whites, Indians and Coloureds believe that very little, or nothing at all, is being done about crime by the government and about 60 percent of their black countrymen agreed with them.

This is according to a study conducted by Markinor for the Institute of Security Studies on the perceptions of crime and violence in South Africa.

The report concludes that Indians were the minority group bearing the brunt of criminal activities with at least 66% of Indian adults questioned knowing someone who had been a victim of crime.
