But South Africa is a violent place, as Boy George knows:

Even Boy George’s readers, probably not a conservative lot, understand that law-abiding South African residents can’t rely on the police for protection.
@BoyGeorge True, but sadly in SA many people live in constant terrible fear and sleeping with a gun under your pillow is common.—

@BoyGeorge but then again…in South Africa you really can't afford to be without a gun…—
