Radio shows are talking about nothing else.<BR/><BR/>There has been panel discussions on TV and the strongest public outcry against this most heinous of crimes.<BR/><BR/>Here is the story............<BR/><BR/>----------------------------------<BR/><BR/>The husband of a woman fighting for her life after being run down outside her home by a car-jacker spoke today of his devastation.<BR/><BR/>Caroline Johnson was attacked as she prepared to take her son to school yesterday morning.<BR/><BR/>She was scraping ice off her windscreen when a man jumped into her car and drove off, leaving her lying in the road in Langley, Berkshire.<BR/><BR/>The 46-year-old suffered serious internal injuries and injuries to her arms and legs.<BR/><BR/>Today, she was in a critical but stable condition in Wexham Park Hospital.<BR/><BR/>Her husband Mark Collins said: "This whole incident has left us devastated and will continue to do so for months to come.<BR/><BR/>"What happened yesterday was completely unnecessary, and I urge anyone who can help the police catch whoever did this to my wife to come forward.<BR/><BR/>"I would like to thank the local community and our neighbours who have been immensely supportive to me and my family."<BR/><BR/>Mrs Johnson's car, a champagne-coloured Citroen Picasso, was found last night, abandoned but in a good condition, about two and a half miles from her home, Thames Valley Police said.<BR/><BR/>As the thief drove away, the mother of four was hit by her car and knocked to the ground.<BR/><BR/>Pc Clive Benson said: "Over 14 years of road traffic collisions, I have never seen anyone with as many injuries as this woman has sustained.<BR/><BR/>"The family are struggling to deal with what has happened and they are naturally devastated. It's an incident no one expected to happen.<BR/><BR/>"Sometimes in these type of incidents, when someone is scraping ice off their car, they leave the engine running and pop inside for a cup of tea and then the vehicle is stolen. It's very, very rare that an incident like this happens."<BR/><BR/>Police will now examine the car for forensic evidence.<BR/>----------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Questions: -<BR/><BR/>So how well does the media cover a story like this in SA?<BR/><BR/>What is the public reaction to an event of this nature in SA?<BR/><BR/>How well do the police liaise with the community in instances of this nature in SA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226267430376629917.post-88082904135973851172008-12-02T17:09:00.000+02:002008-12-02T17:09:00.000+02:00Anon 09:19 - that is interesting about Cape Town, ...Anon 09:19 - that is interesting about Cape Town, but its homicide rate is still lower than in New Orleans.

The city’s homicides usually take place in suburban townships rather than in the more upscale urban areas where tourists visit. According to the South African Police Service, most of the Cape Town area’s violent crimes happen between people who know one another, including a horrific case last year in which four males doused a female friend in gasoline and lit her on fire. Occurring just outside city limits, the incident apparently happened after the assailants had taken hard drugs, the use of which has risen along with Cape Town’s violent crime rate. The whopping 12.7 percent rise in the city’s murder rate from 2006 to 2007 certainly has local politicians worried, especially as South Africa prepares to host the 2010 World Cup. The government has hired more police officers to prepare for the tournament, which could help cut crime in soccer-fan hot spots. But until better efforts are made to police Cape Town’s poverty-stricken townships, it’s unlikely that the murder rate—an average of 5.9 per day—will see any major drop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226267430376629917.post-12136631050085686612008-12-01T17:24:00.000+02:002008-12-01T17:24:00.000+02:00Bloody hilarious.Bloody hilarious.Katzenjammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075423195892830101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226267430376629917.post-85191577842903387752008-12-01T16:55:00.000+02:002008-12-01T16:55:00.000+02:00Humourous but totally distasteful.Humourous but totally distasteful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226267430376629917.post-28416396435184951082008-12-01T16:13:00.000+02:002008-12-01T16:13:00.000+02:00hey roosterwell your right my old boss is from cap...hey rooster<BR/><BR/>well your right <BR/><BR/><BR/>my old boss is from capetown and he said tis full of poms they all move to cape town to retire anf buy nice houses cause the pound or euro is worth alot of rands<BR/><BR/>and alot of pommie tourists get stuffed up in oz cause of the crime i think they visit aussie thinking tis so safe but it to has its downfallsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226267430376629917.post-38799954556289354252008-12-01T15:34:00.000+02:002008-12-01T15:34:00.000+02:00Hey RoosterThis article is old man.

We're the number destination for brit gap years students for example and the number4 for brits emmigrants.

However, most cases occur in the townships and in areas away from the main tourist destinations.<BR/><BR/>“In 2007 and 2008 there were a number of incidents involving foreigners being followed from OR Tambo Airport, Johannesburg, to their destinations by car and then robbed, often at gunpoint.
