She better learn fast, our police force is in a mess. Assignment 1: Sort out Richard Mdhluli's saga and the police lease deal messed up by Bheki.

I will not judge her until I see for myself what she is made of. I hear lots of good things about her as a business woman. I do wish her luck coz she has a lot of cleaning up to do.

I seriously don't envy this woman's job. She faces a daunting task and she may not be a drunkard now but she may well become one once she realises just how big a headache she has inherited.

You don't have to be a drunkard to run a bottle store, but you have to be a good manager - poor choice of words - but anyway, good luck to the new commisioner, we need an efficient an honest top cop very badly.

@Xzibit, hahaha...didn't you know Dikobo di more educated than people who are self absorbed, this is why they are always at the top or get better jobs than self absorbed pretty people, look at most female politicians in parliment ke dikobo, look at the public prosecuter ke sekobo but highly educated, self absorbed people end up in the middle class while dikobo end up as the elite class...

“In order to succeed, I acknowledge that it is necessary to consult, listen and learn.”

I think she wil do a good Job based on her Managements skills , Yes she has no clue wen it comes to SAPS , but show me who does within the SAPS division?....all what our police have done recently is to steal cars, rob people and rape the system...

II say Gudluck Ma....show dem....

Phinya you just thrown a new insult on top of what the president has done to us. You compare being a police commisioner with bottle store mmmm woza basadi baZuma......By the way you are right,but you cannot run a bottle store if you never had a shop or sell. To be ugly is not enough to be a commisioner.We need a person with experience. We are going to deal with the like of MOYO. You still need 12 months to learn.You will never see that period,because Mangaung will safe us

crime has no time for learning, ijust wonder about this lady.

ok Cele might have been taken out by a technicality but he did his job the stats is there to prove .the only unfortunate is being led by a person whos ambitions are more important than the actual challenges we face as a country.

showerhead disgrace
