Crime-fatigued South Africans exact revenge on criminals who want to hurt or rob them, write Karishma_Dipa and shsmillie in today's SaturdayStar
Johannesburg - Tired of being victims, fed up South Africans are fighting back. There has been an increase in reported incidents where citizens have gone head-to head with robbers and come out tops.
Another recent incident involved a Joburg businessman who two weeks ago fired rounds in a desperate bid to scare two men who were attempting to rob him in broad daylight. “The docket is being investigated by the specialised Johannesburg central task team and no one has been arrested,” the spokesperson said.
“It is very dependent on the situation. Self-defence is during the commission of the crime, while mob justice is after the fact,” she explained.
