COMMENT A few days ago a colleague sent me a copy of an email which read:

“Though the government is denying it, we are seeing severe escalation of serious crime in the country. At lunch today, I learnt from a member of [a respectable organisation] that the xxxxxx Embassy is now holding briefings on crime and precautions. There is also a recent entry of some [foreign] crime groups.

We are all living in fear... Most people would agree that the current crime rate is the worst we have ever seen. When victims lodge police reports, often police will refuse the report as it affects their KPI.”
