Minister of Police bad example

-

OKAY, so the powers that be voted. But all is not done until the masses are home and safe.

I am not referring to the big boys, but to the supporters who waited for the result. I know people were bused in, but did the buses arrive to take all “home” on time?

Was anyone allowed on any bus? How was that controlled? The vote was secret but who the people supported was not. Did the army and police man the buses to see all got home? Did anyone think beyond their noses?

Surely Parliament could have opened at 10am to get people off the road in daylight at least?

The cherry on top was how the Minister of Police insulted the opposition; calling its leader a stooge was not setting a good example. Imagine ANC supporters calling DA supporters stooges?

Would it just end there? No. It would end in a fight. Who would the Minister of Police then protect, or would he join in? This is not sport.
