Crime in the MSM

Below are some extracts of articles in today's Afrikaans newspaper Beeld.

This is of course only the tip of the iceberg but at least some of the crime stories can still be found there.


I have not managed to find any of these stories in any of the English publications.

Between all the mainstream media articles we cannot even find 5% of the crimes in our local news, not to mention the zero percent internationally.

No wonder the rest of the world thinks everything is peachy in Mandelatopia


Are these publications deliberately not reporting on our crime, or have the lives of South Africans become so worthless that they just don’t care?
