More violence in crime.

Is that the real problem though, or is the real problem bringing the criminals to justice?

The South African face of crime and justice.

Four security guards were burnt to death in a heist gone wrong. There have been arrests, but apparently conditions in the jail are just not good enough.

Two stories that show the darker side of our country:

"I can't go on any more," were the last words whispered by murdered cash guard Deon Stein.

He was one of four security guards who died on Friday in Limpopo during a daring cash-in-transit heist when their security van was torched.

His father said that he bore an "ugly grudge" in his heart against his son's murderers.

"If I lay my hands on them, I'll set them on fire slowly, really slowly, piece by piece."

Stein died along with colleagues Marcus Malete, Dirk Kleynhans and Hennie Botha when they were trapped in their cash van which a foiled heist gang torched.

And then we move to scene 2:

The six men appearing in court after the horrific death of four security guards, whose van was set on fire, will be held in Polokwane Prison because of "appalling conditions" at Seshego police cells.

"My clients can't bathe and their families can't visit them. That's not right."

I know they're innocent until proven guilty, but Oh Boy - somehow I have limited sympathy for the alleged villains discomfort.

The Crime

Yes Dave you are rite about SAP being scared. And I have 1st hand on knowing how it feels. I use too be a 2IB and my work was ging where to $%&* is. But being shot at is not the problem. They shot at me and I did at them. The problem is when I cought them after a lot of trouble and putting my lfe on the line the basterd walks around a week later. That is what is bothering the police. Why put our lives on the line for the criminal to walk after a week.

[Dave A]

That has just got to be so frustrating.

It is more than that it is heartbreaking to know that all that was to keep hm away for a week where we had to pay for him to live, eat and sleep
