In the media world there is a saying: If it bleeds, it leads. However according to the headlines and frontpages of mainstream media nowadays, it would seem this is no longer the case, as alleged racism is treated far more serious than murder or rape and given far more coverage! In fact with 56 murders a day, many homicides barely make the Facebook pages of these newspapers and rape doesn’t even get reported in many cases!
More Unreported Murders. Is Murder Now So Common & Boring That Mainstream Media Doesn’t Bother Reporting it, or is it Just Not Profitable in The “Mass Market”?

South Africa is known as a country where violence is the dominant element that is wreaking havoc on thousands of people’s lives.
In one way or another, every reader has already been struck by the barbaric violence that just cannot be stopped by the regime.
Home burglaries are the most common crime, and because the police are poorly trained, and slow to catch the villains, it becomes a better way for the criminals to make money than to do an honorable job.
