# Criminologist Chris Kanyane says criminals are running amok in South Africa amid a broken criminal justice system. This follows the recent mass shootings in Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that left over 30 people dead. Kanyane says collapsing investigations, low convictions and under-resourced police have emboldened offenders, leaving communities to live in fear. He cautioned that unless policing, forensics and court efficiency are fixed, violent crime will continue to surge. Kanyane says the mass killings represent a deeper public safety crisis in the country.
