But I am careless no longer. Now my alarm is on all the time and my panic button hung round my neck. And so it has come to pass. There is now more racial tension in this country than I have ever known. It is about general lawlessness.
Black people suffer more than the whites.
They do not have access to private security firms, and there are no police stations near them in the townships and rural areas. They are the victims of most of the hijackings, rapes and murders. They cannot run away like the whites, who are streaming out of this country in their thousands. But it takes a great deal of courage to uproot and start again. We are leaving because crime is rampaging through the land.
