This is a book about making South Africa safe, written by two experts on crime & safety and civic affairs. It is a unique, interesting and potentially life-altering read for many South Africans. But it is not a step-by-step manual with detailed instructions on how to burglar-proof your house or escape a carjacking. Instead, it is a book designed to spark creativity and sharpen the reader’s role as a thinker and a shaper. It is a vision of best thinking for those who no longer wish to consume ready-made ‘solutions’ (which clearly aren’t working); it is a burst of fresh energy for those who prefer to ask different questions and find unexpected solutions (that are rooted in practicality). It’s a book for the politician, the captain of industry and the plain old man (and woman) in the street who see their future in South Africa and South Africa in their future.
