Answer 1

So start with a large part of the population being impoverished essentially second class citizens.

Then when white minority rule ends a large portion is still left behind.

Then there were large volumes of capital flight.

Then beyond the mining industry there’s bugger all exports.

Throw in a healthy dose of corruption and you have a country which is impoverished and has a massive amount of unemployment.

Living by societies rules means starvation so people turn to crime and often violent crime.
