  1. Typical BBC. They were at the forefront of the anti-apartheid demonstrations and supportive. Now they produce a half hearted apology of a Documentary. But that’s the BBC – should be renamed WBC. Wolk Broadcasting Corporation

  2. Who’s to blame. The rest of the world. The goody goody countries and the UN who knew better how to run the country. Now that it is going down the tube and the countries infrastructure is getting similar to the rest of Africa The UN are silent With the exception of the elite blacks who are openly robbing the country the rest of the black population are worse off. Unemployment is more than double. If you listen to this BBC report you will get the rest of the detail,of how a strong economy has been destroyed by ignorance.

  3. When it's white people: What right do you have to search a civilian with stolen copper?
    When it's black people: (ignores beating) They suspect he is involved in crime.

  4. Well, now you know why there was apartheid…! Civilization tried to separate themselves from barbarity … and when Apartheid was abolished this was the expected result! Animals will do what animals do …. look at Haiti, Congo, Chicago in US, Zimbabwe…and everywhere else where you find this demographic.

  5. Inequality is a very lazy attempt to justify the violence. Let people work do odd jobs but to sit on your ass and simply grab someone else purse, wallet, phone etc reaks of stinking laziness. Secondly SA guys deal with the drugs its a big contributor to this madness, am Kenyan not a westerner so you know

  6. This program is hopefully putting pressure on the ANC government. The fact is that if there is a attack against white farmers and their workers it is unbelievably violent and to levels questionable that one person could do this to another. I am however very angry at the BBC Bias coming through in this program. Afriforum is made up of volunteers people in their communities come together financially WITHOUT THE POLICE SUPPORT to protect areas WHERE WHITE AND BLACK live together. Unfortunately people living in townships are the poorest regardless if BLACK OR WHITE OR INDIAN / ASIAN, FOREIGN. I commend them for wanting to better their communities. They have STATE SUPPORTED POLICE PATROLLING WITH them. So it leaves me with the following conclusion and points. One group supports themselves without state support but are being made out to be racists or that they have advantages. Why don't WEALTHY BLACK BUSSINESS PEOPLE NOT SUPPORT FINANCIALLY the township patrols? Why not start groups like Afriforum and provide them with the equipment, finances to have vehicles, weapons???????????????? The government has to DEPLOY the ARMY onto the streets, REBUILD THE BORDER, PATROL THE BORDER. But the FUNNY thing is, that the TAX PAYING people will fund this bill and the people in the TOWNSHIPS DO NOT PAY TAX. Those are the facts. The Afriforum guys where constantly asked who gives them the right and challenged. Yet the bloke in in the townships said the criminal wil MEET HIS MAKER wasn't questioned. I do feel if the rich and powerful black community cared about those in townships things would be different. People like PATRICE MOTSEPE (WORTH $3.2 BILL), TOKYO SEXWALE, SIPHO NKOSI, PHUTUMA NHLEKO, VINCENT MTHAMBO, LEONARD SOWAZI……………………………..

  7. I am Scandinavian living in Africa.
    I have been interested in the development of African countries since I was a teenager, especially that of SA.
    While I thought for years that the ANC was essential fr the development of the country, it has long come across as the biggest obstacle for any development.
    It has taken the same course as so many African parties after an African country has been left to be run by Africans. And I wish it wasn't so but it is ……

  8. As you ask the question of whether being an officer of the Law or not how would you handle a case of insecurity where the officers are no where to be seen? The current ratio of police officer to public is 1:10000 here in Africa for countries like South Africa.
