On the 11th August an organised march against Crime in South Africa is taking place ... in London. It is being organised under the banner Act4SA.

This has sparked a fair bit of debate online as to the merits of such an event. It's been fascinating reading the differing viewpoints. What I have found most encouraging is the amount of respect that each of the contributors have shown for those with differing perspectives.

I am going to stop my commentary here however in order to not dilute the debate any further. What I am going to do is send you to those sites where the topic has and is being discussed. I have found these articles to be cogent and fair. Do yourself a favour and seek out the comments after each article.
