Support Blood Red Monday 06 September 2010 – Say NO to CRIME in South Africa

Today is a Blood Red Monday in South Africa: an example of SYMBOLIC MANAGEMENT in public administration:

• sends a strong message: on a deep emotional level (reference to spilled blood)
• raises awareness
• creates a sense of belonging by using same symbolic attributes (color red)

Classical example often used in politics (best campaigns would have a kick-line, e.g. Obama for Change, a visual attribute, e.g. a clenched fist for ANC, and a mass outreach: make sure your message cascades all the way down through the organization).

Crime is getting out of hand in the country. Our streets are flowing of blood from all the victims of crime. Crime is something you can't see. All victims of crimes feel isolated.  If you wear red on a monday, it will make  CRIME visible and known
All you have to do is wear something RED on Monday.
You could wear :

• a red shirt,
• red tie,
• red ribbon,
• red arm band,
• red bracelet,
• red scarf,
• red hat,
• red tshirt,
• red dress,
• red shoes
• red clown nose.

Anything red. (we won't notice the undies though)
Enough is enough. We will not be oppressed by criminals in this country.
IF we stand together we can take back peace in our homes and  lives. We fought apartheid we can fight crime.
In reality there are only a small percentage of tsotsi's that are giving our country a bad name and putting fear in us.
