Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Well, the opening game to the World Cup is exactly 1 year away today, when the tournament will kick off in Soweto, Johannesburg.
Murder rates last year over there was 38.6 per 100,000 people, almost the highest in the world (the UK's murder rate is around 1.4 per 100,000). Here's an interesting graph showing the most popular crimes over there.
Robbery is a firm favourite of course with a real resurgence in figures since the slump of 97/98, and rape has always performed consistantly well over the years. I can see car jackings making BIG steps next year during the World Cup though, to the point where it may even surpass murder as the 3rd most popular crime in South Africa, although we can expect to see a healthy boost in crimerates across the board, with hundreds of thousands of football fans visiting the country for the first time.
Watch you backs folks, and keep your watch in your pocket.
