THE street in which one of President Jacob Zuma's four wives, Nompumelelo (MaNtuli), lives is one of three Pretoria East streets covered by the first phase of a multi-million hi-tech closed-circuit surveillance system.
But mr. president, I thought SA is a safe place and the citizen's of SA should not worry? Was this not the headlines about a week ago. Report Abuse

Get police that are not trigger happy with the innocent and are not perpetually getting bribes and are actually in great physical form instead of huffing and puffing and whilst you are at it, get cops that are passionate about the job and maybe, just maybe, the crime rate will go down.
This nosense of selecting the rich to get protection is BS. We all need protection and we are paying our taxes to get that protection. Report Abuse

If you drive a battered Totoya Tazz without mags/old Nissan Sentra with smoking exhaust in Waterkloof you're likely to be perceived as a potential criminal and all cameras will follow you and shade and will definitely be stooped by every police car in the area whenever your drive past three streets.
