Neighbours of S. Africa's security minister beset by crime JOHANNESBURG, May 25 (AFP) - Neighbours of South Africa's police minister Sydney Mufamadi doubt his capacity to cut crime after 10 of them were recently targetted by criminals, a newspaper reported here Tuesday. A third of the 30 homes on the street where the minister lives, in Johannesburg's upmarket suburb of Sandton, have in the past seven months been victim to armed robberies, break-ins and an attempted hijacking, The Star newspaper reported. The safety and security minister moved in two years ago and is the only person on the street to have a 24-hour police guard at his home, but this has not stemmed crime, neighbours complained. Resident Denise Martin appealed to the minister: "We know you're a busy man, but please get involved with what is happening on your very own doorstep." Last weekend, two men were robbed of their wallets, car keys and a mobile telephone in the driveway of Martin's home. High crime in South Africa has forced people in affluent areas to install elaborate security systems, including electric fences and video monitors, with many employing private security firms or blocking their streets off to the public.
