#4 One other major difference to remembered about South Africa and crime statistics : in the not too distant past, crime was mainly under control and the police were efficient. So there is a social memory of that, and the present can logically be compared with the past. In most if not all of the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, there has not been a time in most peoples' lives when crime was not high nor the police uncorrupt or inefficient.

#5 Anyone who thought anything else was going to happen when the white government was replaced by the ANC must have been on serious drugs. If you don't want to end up seriously racist, it's not a good thing to look too closely at South Africa.
