Security On Campus

Having being a victim of many small crimes that people might choose to call petty crime, I am none the less angered about the crime on campuses. I was on a campus for a full year and we (other varsity students) eventually became immune to the crimes of that campus.

Our first ordeal was of a young man being raped, we had just arrived there and we heard about this young man who was going to return home having not even entered a single lecture room or anything like that. Having his man hood taken away must have been miserable to say the least just after I wrapped my head around that my cell phone was taken from my room. This act of deviance has become almost the norm on the campuses. So what students were dodging 20 years ago is what present day calls petty crimes.

There is no one who will stand up for such large problems and say that security is a real problem that students should be better protected. Under Thabo Mbeki's iron fist we denied or avoided xenophobic attacks this allowed for the South African people to do as they please all over and this fed into campuses. Scary perpetuating into a violent and horrific outburst. Here were people now needing protection because the government and leadership structures where allowing fellow civilians to behave like savages. Ironic and contradictory for these people because years back our black political leaders searched refuge in their homelands.

Xenophobia, theft, rape and assault are the crimes we have become immune too and we can no longer allow this sickening behavior to continue. Gone are the days when one should be throw stats for something to be valued. All one has to do is google the topic and get results about the sorts of atrocities our future are being exposed too. We would like to see the new governance take care of this as well. Zuma's children are in tertiary I am sure and will be feeding him great portions of the unsavory news of our campuses. We can only hope they here this and change it.
