Is the security situation in South Africa really chaotic?

The chaos in South Africa is real.

1. Specifically speaking, South Africa’s public security issues should start from its fundamental social contradictions. Due to South Africa’s long-standing historical reasons, the wealth gap between blacks and whites in South Africa is very large. In 2002, the South African government Annual statistics show that the per capita GDP of white South Africans is US$21,000 per year, while the average annual GDP of black people is only US$1,700. At that time, the per capita GDP of developed countries in the world was US$4,700, so we cannot see that South Africa’s economic advantage is in the hands of white people. Almost all the country’s economic lifeline is in the hands of a small number of white consortiums. Although the black government is now in power, White people control the country's economy and influence the political situation. In the mutual game between political power and financial power, the two forces have achieved a balance of power, ensuring the steady development of the country's politics and economy.

2. Due to various reasons, the security situation in South Africa is severe, and overseas Chinese are often targeted by criminals. According to statistics, there were more than 40 armed robberies against overseas Chinese in 2005, and 8 people were killed. Since this year, social security in South Africa has continued to deteriorate, with kidnappings, robberies, shootings, extortion and other vicious cases emerging one after another. Criminal activity is also on the rise. The personal and property safety of Chinese citizens in South China has been seriously threatened.
