Howard Campus & Pitermaritzburg - So dangerous!!!

By Osama Dumakude

It is said that South Africa is the most dangerous country in the world. According to the statistics compiled by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime South Africa was ranked second for assault and murder. Without arguing we are living in a scariest country in the world. Each of us has been a crime victim in one way or the other or has had a person close to you being victimised.

It may look petty, but its a fact that our University is a contributor to the world statistics. According to July 2007 statistics released by Risk Management Services Howard Campus in on top of the stats with more case of theft and Pitermaritzburg and Westville are second and third respectively. Edwood and Medical School in Durban are the only cases with few or no cases of crime. Many cases of of drunken disorderliness were reported in Pitermaritzburg campus on the month of August. Most recenty there has been cases of people who take hostage of people and later kill them for their body organs removed for medicinal purposes.
