In a typically hard hitting interview, Ian Cameron of Action Society describes South Africa as a "total bloodbath" and a "slaughterhouse of humans," referencing the data on escalations in murders since the ANC came to power in 1994. He criticises the government's detached attitude towards soaring crime rates, likening ministers and police commissioners to passive spectators of a violent sport. Cameron attributes police inefficiency to political interference and the influence of the "untouchable" police chief Bheki Cele. He accuses the ANC of ignoring internal issues while pursuing international justice, neglecting the alarming rates of murder, and the unprecedented rape of women and children in South Africa. Cameron suggests the ANC's reluctance to reform the police stems from fear of exposing their own corruption.
