        Subject:        Crime in South Africa - your support is sought
        Importance:     High

        Dear Subscriber,

        A plea for your support.

        Since South Africa acquired its democracy in 1994 crime and violence
has
        turned the most beautifull country in the world into one of anargy
and
        misery for all law abiding citizens. The government in power gives
lip
        service to the prevention and eradication of crime. Crime like the
raping
        of women and children, murders, vehicle hijackings, theft, bank
hoists and
        corruption........even in government circles, the police and
military. Law
        abiding citizens now fear for their lifes and live like prisoners
behind
        wired fences and security gates. Not even that is safe.

        This note aims to solicit your support in making a concerted
statement of
        support and remembrance of those having been murdered during farm
attacks
        in South Africa since 1994. Farm attacks which now counts two a day
with at
        least one death a day. Of innocent farmers and their wifes and
children.

        Your support is welcomed. Read on.

        Thank you
