South Africa's sport is crime ahead of World Cup

South Africa warns against crime ahead of World Cup - Yahoo! News

Soccer is soooooo boring and the theatrical opening ceremonies were so loud, dull and PC, that venturesome sports must be travelling to South Africa for the thrill of crime and the agony of assault.

South Africa seems to be following the devolution path that Rhodesia took to Zimbabwe in 1979-80.

JOHANNESBURG (AFP) – South Africa on Thursday urged World Cup visitors to exercise caution against crime, after two groups of journalists were robbed ahead of the opening match.

Police said on Thursday they had arrested three people in connection with the armed robbery one day earlier of three journalists covering Portugal.

Thieves broke into their hotel room outside Johannesburg and stole passports, money and photographic equipment.

Chinese state media reported on Thursday that four Chinese journalists were also robbed at gunpoint when they stopped their car on a roadside on their way to Johannesburg. The thieves took a small amount of cash and a camera.

South Africa has one of the world's highest crime rates -- with an average 50 killings a day [5th highest in the world] -- making security one of the biggest headaches for World Cup organisers.

Here is a newscast, ironically from AljazeeraEnglish (possibly to make the world outside Islam look bad). The real irony is that news script sounds much like an evening newscast from a local city broadcast in the US. The must have all gone to the Columbia School of Broadcasting, or is it Journalism.

The problem is much deeper than reported. The news is trying to put a happy face over the failings of South Africa.
