Crime in SA and the 2010 Soccer World Cup

According to nationmaster.com, South Africa ...
  • has the most rapes (per capita) in the world
  • has the most murders with firearms (per capita) in the world
  • has the second most murders (per capita) in the world
  • has the fourth most robberies (per capita) in the world
  • is a transshipment center for illicit drugs and an attractive venue for money launderers due to increasing levels of organized crime and narcotics activity
Can FIFA honestly say that soccer fans will be safe during the 2010 World Cup?
