SOUTH Africa named a former ANC resistance fighter from the apartheid era as its top criminal investigator yesterday, handing him the task of tackling one of the world's highest crime rates ahead of next year's football World Cup.
Anwa Dramat, 41, will head the body replacing the disbanded Scorpions unit.

it won't be easy to sort out but good luck to the guy -The crime at all levels of government has been the biggest problem for all South Africans. You know the score, when it's a cesspit of criminal activity at the top, the bottom suffers even greater ills.
Problem in Africa is the "we were once strugglers syndrome"
In otherwords no matter what becomes of a comrade, he can rape, destroy a nation, kidnap a young boy, steal from the fiscal and it will be overlooked on the basis that the black brothers must stand together - Winnie Mandela, JZ, Yengeni, Mugabe and the many hundreds of other names are ONE CRIMINAL element.
Of course the other problem is that whilst crime in European parliaments makes the news, people lose their jobs and in the end something is done, in Africa it just goes on and on and on.
The man in charge of clearing up crime will have his plate full, and he wont be able to tackle the real criminals as they will be off limits.
