Just another crime in Johannesburg South Africa

It is just another crime in Johannesburg, South Africa, it is not really news, it happens all the time. However, this crime proved that the South African Police services are incompetent.  

A black man, probably drunk, roaming the streets of Rosettenville, Johannesburg, died early on today. His head was covered in blood and whether he was attacked or not it is unknown. Passersby phoned an emergency number and waited for the police to arrive.  There were no witnesses at the time of the man's death, so the cause is known.

The police arrived in good time, about 40 minutes after receiving the phone call, however so did the fire department. I am wondering what assistance the fire department would contribute. Several photos were taken by a witness and after about an hour the police and fire department departed, leaving the dead man uncovered. The police probably phoned the government mortuary and told them to collect the body. The body of the dead man was visible to all pedestrians, and it took more than two hours for the mortuary to collect the body.  It is shameful to think that there is no compassion even in death.

Rosettenville is home to the Nigerian drug lords, who run a lucrative drug dealing business. Pimps, prostitutes and drug addicts roam the streets. There is always a visible police presence in the area but never any arrests. It would seem the police give protection to the wrong people thus allowing the drug dealings to spiral out of control.

 As you will see in the photos, the emergency services was present and the ambulance did not remove the body. Crime scene or not, it is disgraceful to leave a dead body in the street. Only in South Africa.
