SMS Poll against crime brings in 400,000 responses

Several hundred thousand South Africans have spoken out on crime via SMS, and the majority feel that it is plain out of control. South Africa News 24 reports.

"The SMS poll was launched on on Tim Modise's TV show . By early Monday, 400 000 SMS messages had been sent, said the company that provides the service.

They say it's the biggest poll of its kind so far. Even London-based South Africans responded.

Viewers are asked each Monday evening to give their views on the subject under discussion on the show.

On Monday last week, viewers were asked to send an SMS if they thought crime was out of control in South Africa. Only those who agreed were to respond. "
