By the way, Mr van Heerden. Many of us "privileged" whites live pretty close to those gang-infested areas. I can hear them shooting at each other from my house. I've even had the police swarm on to my property while hunting a criminal they were chasing, guns at the ready. Their gunfire woke me.  Remember the high-placed "dik ding" who was shot a few weeks back? My friend is still receiving counseling for what happened that morning. A highly capable, professional person, having a gun thrust in her face and told to save the dude's life, or else? And after an incident where a rival gang tried to infiltrate the ward where he was lying, we all had to submit to being searched when we came to work, and to be eyed by his foot soldiers who were on watch in our corridors! Don't assume, Mr Van Heerden. We are just as aware of our gang infestation as you are, because it comes damn close to our own "privileged" areas.
