Dear Editor,
When are we going to realise that the current state of our country demands high standards?
Last year we set what was considered to be a reasonable standard of no more than 300 road fatalities. However, the spirit of careless driving showed us that our standard was too low.
Recently the media informed us that our present security minister is aiming to reduce homicides to one murder per day, even though the homicide rate since the start of the year is very high. Is this the new standard? 365 murders per year?
Moreover, how much longer will we be expected to feed an overcrowded prison population, and why do we have such a backlog of criminal court cases? When are we going to stop pampering criminals and how can we steer them into meaningful living while they are hell-bent on destroying our nation because the standards by which we operate are so low?
