DA: Govt unconcerned about problems at SAPS

Mmmm, now I understand why the lady in Cape Town who's daughter burnt to death in her car got an EXTERNAL/ PRIVATE forensic investigator, (at her own expense), to investigate the cause of the tragic event.

case dockets will be obsolete once all criminals (whether murderer, zol smoker or 3 year old) are shot dead in the new 'meet force with force' policy.

Of course the Gov are unconcerned. They want no whites in there. Only ANC affiliated cronies. This way they are able to continue being corrupt and screwing the masses without any real threat of being bust.

I think the time has come that, every South African, should step up in helping the government to fight corruption. So far, the current ministry of security is doing well. Well done to Nathi Mthethwa and Fikile Mbalula for the hard work. They are not just talking tough but are walking the talk. Let us hope that they develop systems to fight the rot.

Immediately after apartheid ended in 1994, the country’s violent crime rate jumped dramatically when the ANC-government replaced most of the previous (white) police force with inexperienced, new black recruits from the townships. The pre-1994 statistics rose from 5,100 murders/homicides a year to an average of 43,000 murders/homicides: i.e. at least 645,000 people were killed in criminal violence under current ANC-hegemony over the past 15 years.

@ Ronald Kete.
Did you read the article?
I agree with your first sentence; thereafter I can only assume that you are joking.

Ronald, we have already stepped up: we've paid our taxes, now it is the government's turn to do what they have been appointed to do. Nathi and Fikile hate each other, so that is what they are focusing on. It would be nice of you if you can point out how they have improved the policing system/organisation.

Nathi Mthethwa and Fikile Mbalula only work hard at fighting each other.
Ronald is goading us –or he’s seriously deluded.

@ Ronald that means: “you are probably one short of a six-pack, not playing with a full deck, cuckoo, off the old rocker, non compos mentis, stark raving off your trolley, van lotjie getik.
(Sorry about the little argumentum ad hominem, but kindly try to write sense here. Thanks)

What an absolutely dismal state of affairs!

In every respect the ANC has proved time and again it doesn't have a clue on how to run the country.

And with all this gross inefficiency they think it's appropriate to be worrying about giving the police greater 'kill' powers.

Come to think of it ... with their complete inability to efficiently manage the prosecution process (admin, evidence etc) maybe it's a better idea to just kill the criminals (together with any civilians in the vicinity) in the streets then they don't need forensics, paperwork etc.

Banana state!!

Dianne Kohler Barnard, is this the same lady with the xenophobic vitriol....."they eat our food, use our hospitals, bed our men, yep,yep..." Howler of note indeed...........

Vrot from top to bottom. What else can you expect.

Tim C. Back again - watching you !!

The gov cares nothing for anything; except for continuation of access to the public funds. Whatever the bare minimal is, that will allow this unfettered access, is what they'll do. Nothing more.

We're faced with a tragedy, a seriously dangerous situation of concern to all good citizens, and that ANC-worshipping troll Proudly_South African Proudly_South African attacks the messenger. Please all remember when you read what he writes that his is not a true opinion. He is paid by the ANC to spew rubbish on this site.

Alot of people report cases to the police instead of the police to protect those people, they receive secondary victimisation. Our government must dismiss station commanders who run the police station like a spaza shop, where you find that dockets are stolen. Can you imagine a break winner at home is killed brutally a police officer steal the docket because they paid him a twenty rand for that docket. They say we must not take law into our own hands.

Well guys, it would not hurt being a little positive. Let us join community policing forums and make a difference if we think there is rot from bottom to top.

We are the change!
