In South Africa, violent crime is soaring, with the murder rate now at a 20 year-high.
Since 2012, the number of murders has risen by 77%. The latest figures show that more than 27,000 people were killed in the course of a year.
And the number of murders that are solved has fallen to just 12%.
Many of those living in fear work in the security sector, with audacious heists of security vans commonplace.
