I am a South African (now living in the US). I miss my country - the beautiful landscape and wildlife - but will never move back there. Sadly South Africa boasts one of the highest crime rates in the world as well as one of the highest HIV infection rates. Murder, rape, hijacking - it's all part of many people's days in the country and it's a tragedy that the government refuses to see the problem.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup is being hosted in South Africa and FIFA has warned that they will move the venue if something doesn't happen to change the crime situation.
