Are we South Africans goiung to accept that this is the way things are in SA - scumbags rob and k.ll law abidng people, fathers, mothers, oupas and oumas, chidren, daily. Or are we going to stand up and say this is enough - we DEMAND change - proper policing , which starts with appointment of proper, trained policemen as top cop, not some dodgy crony of the president.

Well Done!!! It is time we all start fighting back. Because we are always told to "give them what they want, and they'll go away" criminals have become tame and think they can do with us what they want. If they know there's a good chance we will fight back and they can get hurt, they'd think twice before choosing their career.

Why is that the police are quick to arreste the innocent, but the quilty ones, they can be after them for months if not years?

Its dificult for police to do their work n dats why the arrest easy targets.If they shoot and kill those criminals,they also face murder charges and end up losing their jobs.the government does really benefit from crime.Bheki Cele was doing a great job and crime getin lower during his leardership but look how they took him out.Zoomer Shower head is a criminal himself

He must thank his invisible angels and almighty God or whoever he prays to, the courage to do that in the middle of the night , he refused to be a statistic. I respect your courage Ashraf. At this stage, don't worry about the car, your life and your family's life is more important than any material.

Open borders, poor justice system,many rights to the convict, unsatisfactory work of some police that has seen hundreds of would be convicts getting their cases thrown out courts due to lack of evidence. We charge Rhino killers to 40 years in jail, and we sentence killers, rapists,hijackers to 18,20,25 years in jail. I don't say Rhino killers shouldn't be punished, but which life is more important.

its trully sad that the thugs seems to be ruling SA and that decent citizens take the backseat (excuse the pun), i really think we need a no nonsense attitude towards criminals. crime should be a priority because its hard to create jobs when the crime is soo high no one can invest in SA because they feel their investments wont yield returns.

thank God he survived!, we really need to change a status quo and fight this culture of crime that eats at our Nation. sad sad sad.

agree with @ Skomoro99, it feels all the time that everyone who tries doing things right is at the wrong, i do feel these human rights are ruining our country they have missed the mandate, who fights for the rights of decent citizens that are trying to make our country works? they dont even consider such cases. it seems only the criminals and law breakers have human rights in this country the rest should just carry the burden.

i actually want my taxes to be hard at work in protecting me every single day. safety is a right not a priviledge!

SA needs a zero tolerance to armed thugs. The President can issue a decree in parliament to allow a death penalty on serious crimes against a person, carrying an unlicenced fire-arm, etc. Or, alternatively, a 3 month gun amnesty, everyone who has a weapon (licenced and unlicenced) to hand it over within the 3 month deadline. Should there be anyone who gets arrested after that period carrying a firearm, sentencing should be severe (20 years). And if that firearm was used in crime, sentence should be even more severe (40 years), with no prospect of parole. All prisoners should sing for their dinner (work really hard and with impunity) and who ever attempt an escape, should immediately be disconnected from society.... forever. I prefer SA to be branded a police state than let criminals loose and terrify innocent civilians

skwamasamabele - Taking guns from people aint going to do anything. We have criminals getting their hands on automatic rifles, by stealing rifles from army depots. We have criminals stealing automatic rifles from police weapon safes.

Your idea would be a good one, if we were living in England.

In South Africa, you can barely count on the police for anything. Nevermind making sure civilians are not carrying firearms. And even if civilians dont have firearms anymore, criminals will still get their hands on them.

And what will we do to protect ourselves then? Nah, government should make it easier for civilians to get their hands on weapons.

Then at least its not just the criminals running around with firearms.

Sin- I totally disagree with you. More firearms in society begets more violence. If everyone is armed, then we have a breakdown in society, lawlessness and anarchy. Our police force need re-training, I know its a big ask, but we have to start somewhere. Borders need to be sealed, as automatic weapons come from Angola, Zim and Mozambique. Then the army need to conduct pre-dawn raids, especially in squatter camps. The army need to stop sitting in barracks scratching their nuts, and getting fat and striking, and get on with the task of disarming the country. A rigorous approach, use of all armed services (air, navy and infantry), daily roadblocks, accompanied by zero tolerance legislation, a president's decree on death penalty, wont solve the problem overnight, but would get our country from A to G. You surely dont believe arming everyone would solve anything, do you??? FYI in England we have drug-lords armed to the teeth as well, but MI5 is very effective over here, SA can learn a lot from British security establishment

skwamasamabele - It is a good suggestion (removal of firearms), and we can all hope that someday we can get to that level. But its not practical at the moment.

Until the police, SANDF, courts, and everything else inbetween starts pulling its weight, then eventually it will be viable.

But at the moment that law will only serve to disarm people wanting to protect themselves. And leaves civilians defenseless, but the criminals armed.

Oh Sin,- Ive just come from Mexico City on a tour of duty (with the UN), It is terrifying to see 12 year olds, carrying kalashnikovs and M16s, selling drugs and being used by the war/drug lords. Total disintergration of law and order, especially on the outskirts of the city. There is no way you can walk that city after dark. The police and the Mexican Army are getting on a massive drive, with the help of Brazilian police, to drive out drug lords and disarm those children. They are fighting fire with fire, SA security services can get their act together and sort the country out, just like in Sao Paulo, Meddelin (Colombia) and Mexico City

Our police needs to pull finger at the moment. A report on the khaya-police released the weekend doesnt sit well at all. And the SANDF is TOTALLY underutilized.
