FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Dr Mabasa said that despite a 6.5 per cent drop in the country’s murder rate,
there was nothing to celebrate.
“Why are we rejoicing when there are a thousand fewer people murdered?
Surely we don’t think the decrease is because criminals are lazy?” he
asked.
“We cannot allow this killing with impunity to continue. Kill and you
will be killed. This is the message that needs to be sent out.”
Last year, 15,900 people were murdered in South Africa – or 320 per million
people. The UK’s murder rate is 13 deaths per million people – totalling 619
last year.
South Africa’s death penalty was abolished in 1995 – a year after Nelson
Mandela came to power. At the height of apartheid, South Africa had the
third highest judicial execution rate in the world – putting to death 1,109
people between 1980 and July 1989.
At the time of transition to democracy, there were more than four hundred
prisoners on death row – many for political crimes.
