What is the security situation in South Africa?

Public security chaos in South Africa is real.

1, specifically, South Africa's security problems should start with the fundamental social contradictions. Due to the long-term historical reasons in South Africa, the gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa is very large. According to the statistics of the South African government in 2002, the per capita GDP of South African whites is $2 1000 a year, while that of blacks is only $ 1700 a year. At that time, the per capita GDP of developed countries in the world was 4,700 US dollars, so we could not see that the economic advantage of South Africa was in the hands of whites, and almost all countries' economic lifelines were in the hands of a few white consortia. Although the black government is in power now, white people control the national economy and influence the political situation. In the game between political power and financial power, the two forces have achieved the balance of power and ensured the stable development of the country's politics and economy.

2. Due to various reasons, the security situation in South Africa is grim, and overseas Chinese are often the targets of criminal attacks. According to statistics, in 2005, there were more than 40 armed robberies against overseas Chinese, and 8 people were killed. Since the beginning of this year, public security in South Africa has been deteriorating, and vicious cases such as kidnapping, robbery, shooting and extortion have emerged one after another, and criminal activities in Chinese communities are also on the rise. The personal and property safety of China citizens traveling to South China is seriously threatened. South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world.
