Hi all

This is my first article its actually sooner than i expected hope i'm in track

Last nyt i watched a programme on SABC 1 called Zabalaza....Chetto Vibe.....i hav neva bin badly touched by de issue ya crime in my whole lyf until last nyt....
Ok...the guys who were interviewed on the programme commited some serious criminal offence.
It all started when they joined a dance group to keep away from the streets but unfortunately things turned out differetly, a guy who use to be a leader in the group was killed after all that they decided to protect themselves by carring sharp objects i.e. pangas, knifes and etc.......

To cut the long story short they turned to be criminals doing di Huisbrake, Rape, all sorts of criminal elements u can think of. They then went to jail and they said jail its not lekker.........Khaya one of the guys said he was scared and his other mate said the same thing, people got raped while they were in there....
They out now but does it mean they wont go back again???? will they stop commiting crime???

So mabloggers i want to hear your views......
Would you put a stop to crime, would you give the police a tip off abt crime it you c it happening.....last nyt i thought abt it, do i have it in me 2 put a stop to crime i dont knw, you knw y my 3 cousins are criminals 1 is already in jail got arrested at the age of 17 sentenced 26 years in jail so far his done 7 yrs, other 1 is out on parole but he hasn't stop doing crime my friend bought a laptop from him a while ago i was shocked my own friend but i didn't ask Qs my other Cazin was arrested two weeks ago refused bail still on trial.......this is family to me i know what they doing is wrong but do i want to give the police a tip off, angazi??......what abt the ppl affected by crime....eish i'm actually really sad...Senzeni???????

im with monchooza on this one. I would firstly talk to the man then if t all fails then report him.
but back to the doccie,i found it very shocking that the guys are unemployed, involved in petty crime but still continue to have like kids. its like how is the cycle going to stop if people continue to breed the conditions for the status quo.

its true , prison makes hardens some people and some like Israel, GP from Gazlaam,it gives them a new lease on life. I think its a shame that msticks cousn after seeing people in prison still ended up there.its a hard knock life sometimes

Back in the 90's when I was still living eThokoza a girl we used to play with got raped. She was with her friend and the friend managed to escape. the suspect got arrested and and the night before the friend was suppose to give evidence her whole house was burnt killing her erderly grandmother who was sleeping and too old to get up and escape. We never knew who burnt the house but obviously the suspect friends were the suspects.

My point is I know we should report i crime but at what expense. I know a lot of people including myself who would rather keep quite about a crime than to become a victim because of reporting one

@ tha - bang................i also agree not all that go 2 prison change...

@MamaOmpha.....i'll also rather kip quite abt a crime, i knw its bad mara ke dire eng????report den be a victim, report my cazins NO!! i tok 2 dem dats all i do hope dey will change 1 day......

On dat day de 24th i spoke to a couple of dem asking y dey in? what did dey do and will dey change? an 1 said to me his geting out by de end of dis yr but if de is no job 4 him he will turn back 2 crime......i just looked at him out of shock

I would never forgive myself if I kept quite.I'd rather be impimpi and then pray for God to save my ass.

mina ngisaba izigebengu kunamaphoyisa....so i would never rat out on a criminal i dont know ngoba he will come back for me. but if i have to rat out by calling the tip line(anonnymous line) then i think i would but never and i mean never in a million years will i testify against a criminal in court

mstick
11 Jun 2008 07:41

i must agree with Monchooza on dis 1..........peaces its dangerous to testify against a criminal i mean look at MamaOmpha story abt the girl who was going to b a witness her whole house was burnt killing her grandmother.....now dats sad.

@ Peaces - i agree! how do we expect crime to go down if we're not part of the solution? and family or not - if its rape/murder - straight to the cops, i wouldn't bother with a family meeting.

i survived a housebreak this april, and it was awful - i have nghtmares about it till today - and i'm hardly alone, everyone's got an mzansi crime story.... so sad, really...

Let me tell u what I ll do I will command them to stop if not they are burned from my house to wherever they want to go . If u dont report them one day he ll steal from u or even rape your daughter what a u going to do then . Ngeke uthule sisi u ll wish to kill them yourself so do the right thing bent them while they are still fresh either give them a strong talk if doesnt solve .

Go to the nearest police station and ubabophise blood or not blood if he ll kill u for money to buy drugs he ll ,so hurry up before he sell your Tv next time.

Family member, yhoo, i don't think i will be 2 quick 2 send him/her to jail, No. I will xhaust all the possibilities, then if a sa loke, then MAYBE.....
But 4 a stranger i think it will be much easier ( i know it's not right either way) but that's how i feel
