Just a few simple but yet hard questions
It is not a secret that our very own country is a haven for criminals. We have the worst crime rates in the world in my opinion and again I say the worst justice system.
How on earth does someone kill four kids in a drag race and gets only 25 years of imprisonment beats me?
We were fooled into believing that Shaik and Selebi are at death’s door. Does the fact that you are a celebrity or a friend of those in power exempt you from facing the full mighty of the law?
Someone shoots a person in cold blood but that person still gets bail?
Instead of spending millions in renaming Pretoria streets and building a city (Nkandla) for the president why on earth do we not take that money and subsidise Eskom to bring the cost of living down?
We send our brothers and sisters to die in CAR when there is an overwhelming drug dealership problem in Cape Town. Our own SAPS has become murders instead of people who protect us. Everyday a child or an 80 plus year old granny is brutally raped, have we lost our sense of respect?
Is this what Madiba and others fought for?
Is this what we call freedom?
When will all this end?
How long are we going to tolerate such behaviour?
Look inside yourself change begins with you if I change and you change before we know it the whole country will change.
