South Africa is one of the most
picturesque countries in the world. It has stunning beaches, beautiful wildlife and breathtaking scenery.
However, the country is being marred by all the violence and murders that is going on.
There is a massive divide between the poor and rich, and the poor, who are desperate to change their circumstances, seem to be resorting to violence to do this.
When a country has nearly 57 murders a day, you know something is wrong and something has to be done to change it.
I would like to see the South African government combat this problem, but it remains to be seen whether it will.
