(1) Public Security

- While it seems brutal burglaries are on the decline, "security stop" occurs ever so often (for making extra-small pocket money) by fake or corrupted police. While security check on the road is necessary, improvement in police manner is all the more important.
- Judging from the night and day occurrences of car-jack, fake patrol cars, house breaking, etc., it is not possible to lead a peaceful, secure life in South Africa.
- Public security is poor. It is problematic to notice existence of fake, fraudulent police. Pin money pocketed by policeman at check point. The task remains for qualitative improvement of police.

- It is requested that GOJ request SA Public Security Authority for improvement in policeman's manner in SA.
- It is requested that GOSA makes its crime eradication policy known to everyone without exception in order to assure crime free, safe life.
- Functional upgrading of police is necessary.
- Annihilation of organised crime.

(2) Inadequate Infrastructure

- Blackout and water utage occur frequently.
- Eskom power shortage has gotten aggravated. Frequently planned power outage impairs both business and livelihood. There is anxiety over drop in operation rate in future of the supplying factories. No longer working electric security fence is a matter of concern.

- It is requested that GSA takes step to overhauls infrastructure.
- Although deep rooted issues are appreciated, it is requested that GSA takes step to normalise the chaotic situation as soon as possible by accelerating investment into infrastructure, establishment of maintenace factories, governmental aids, means of shot-term power supply, etc.
