Theft in Grahamstown seems to have absolutely sky-rocketed this year...or perhaps it is just that it has started to affect my world that i have noticed it. In our street alone there have been at least 5 break-ins, or attempted break-ins in the past two months. It seems to be a hopeless situation, poverty is not going anywhere and neither is the huge divide between 'student' Grahamstown and the 'real' Grahamstown. The sad fact is, these 'thieves' are most likely mere kids roped in by older gang members to do their dirty work. Students are getting angry and frustrated at the situation, and many have sworn violence upon any intruders caught on their property. However it is not violence that will solve this problem. It will merely aggravate an already hopeless situation. Police could perhaps help by patrolling our suburbs instead of targeting student drinking holes...or is it that they realise that it is a situation beyond their control..

Firstly dont freaten me you poepie! Now that that;s out the way. I completely agree with you. The police need to prioritise, it's not merely Hitec's job to repsond. how long does it take to get hold of the cops. Bet you a few people, who have since left Gtown are still waiting. Scary stuff.. All I can say is that people need to be responsible. Dont do anything stoopidr mense.
