Police protection for politician­s cost the taxpayer R3 billion in the previous financial year. The yearly budget for the police’s forensic laboratori­es is R1.42 billion. Tito cuts the police’s budget by R1.2 billion to help bail out SAA. I hope he cuts it in the right area.

This ruling party has completely destroyed this country and all it wants is power. I have been travelling around Zululand in northern Kwa-Zulu Natal and everything is disastrous.

I feel that if they want to go to court, it must be done at their own personal expense. They would soon stop all the legal costs that comes out of our pockets.

It is interestin­g to watch the ANC slowly commit hara-kiri. Their loyal electorate could find their choice of billions of rands to resuscitat­e a failed airline rather than buy vaccines to fight Covid-19 hard to swallow. No bag of groceries will be big enough to fill the gap left by the death of a loved one – and that loved one may have been a provider.
