EP KINGS SPONSORSHI­P CHEEKY, hope you get sponsorshi­p as you need it. Toulon are being ridiculous with their demands, and R200 000 sponsorshi­p is peanuts as that will not cover all the Kings’ expenses for the year. Just now they want to come and steal our good rugby players. That is not acceptable. The Kings will always be known as the EP Kings.

IRENE

CHEEKY snubbed Toulon offer. Wishing Cheeky would immigrate! And take Luke with him.

SWL COULD the provision of the three years of financials be the problem? What is hidden in the reports? Are all the other issues but a smokescree­n?

MAD MOLLY

CHRIS PANAYIOTOU BAIL BID FOR goodness sake, a tracker bracelet, for premeditat­ed murder? Huge difference between fraud and murder. Dream on Christophe­r.

D VAN DER MERWE, ALGOA PARK

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CRIME IS IT possible that the ANC does not know how bad the crime is in this country? We are being terrorised. Mental problems are on the increase because of this and our children are going nowhere slowly! Dangerous criminals are released. The wheel turns and when the fat cats receive what we do, they will also feel the heat!

THANDI

NERO watched while his country burned. Our emperor, JG Zuma, reminds me of Nero Caesar. He is silent on the R4-billion plane! All the while the country is burning!

THE matter of acceptable public facilities and services, that is, schools, hospitals etc will only improve when decision-makers are forced to use these facilities. I feel myself yawning, saying: “Dream on Bez”!

BORN FREE IT WOULD seem that Born Free means: Free education Free health care Free housing Free electricit­y Free water And now they want the banks as well. They are yet to learn that the only thing free on this earth is the air we breathe.

REPLIES TO READERS’ COMMENTS J W, IT is a tad naive blaming the mayhem caused by knife-happy thugs on apartheid. Most of them weren’t born when Steve Biko died. Shocking domestic structures and the embracing of the nihilistic American subculture of hip-hop, badboy, gangsta lifestyle play a role here. Without social upliftment a large section of the population is doomed to a life of chaos and violence.

PW

I REFER to J W’s recent responses to chirps from “Sandy” and myself. Where does your assumption that I am “white” come from? It is quite clear J W that you are obsessed with a pathetic racial agenda. How on earth you managed to twist the two chirps into racial issues is beyond any sane person’s understand­ing. Your apartheid history lesson was useless to man or beast. It is patently clear that you are not a well-balanced individual and need corrective therapy urgently. Possibly the chip on your one shoulder is heavier than on the other. You are a racist of the worst kind and people such as yourself impede progress in this country.

GARTH

IT IS very sad to see the comments made by J W re violence by black people and that violence breeds violence. The violence of the apartheid era cannot be changed so, J W, you say blacks will therefore always be justified in committing violent crime and much of this violence is against black people. Some of the violence shown in the media from our present government against black people would not have been out of place in the apartheid era. Surely it is time to go forward and condemn all violence and maybe to remember but not to dwell in the past.

ROADBLOCKS needed in western suburbs. There are too many unlicensed drivers, with no ID or insurance! They cause accidents, lie and give false informatio­n.

JUSTICE 4 Reeva , you must have been present when Oscar Pistorius shot at the locked door. You sound just as confused as the trial judges and Gerry Nel. The judge should have used the term “dolus conditiona­lis ”. There is a considerab­le difference of opinion regarding the precise meaning of dolus. The judge in the Oscar Pistorius case had the full right to use dolus as she saw fit. A motorist overtakes another on a blind rise on an unbroken white line.

RESPONDENT

SEX OFFENDER Cut off his fingers and castrate him then lock him up and throw away the key.

SAGITTARIU­S

TROLLIP IN DA HOUSE IT IS strange that now that Athol Trollip is in PE, there are a number of cases against non-white members. Before it was not the case. He is messing up the DA plans.

READER

STEP IN TO SORT OUT POST OFFICE The ANC government needs to take complete control of the Post Office and convert casual postmen to fully permanent postmen. Policy obligation: equal pay for same job done must be applied.

LAWYER

SPARE THOUGHT FOR FISTS OF FURY DAD BEFORE you all cast your stones, think about how angry that father was when he klapped the guy involved in the accident with his daughter. Has it even been establishe­d whether he has a driver’s licence? Had that been my child, that guy wouldn’t have gotten off that lightly.

JENNI

YOUR comments in an SMS “road rage incident after crash” are seriously racist, Mbulelo Nqontsha. Is it the mere fact that the assaulter was white and the assaulted black that in your anti-white slanted view makes this a racist attack? Grow up comrade this is merely an angry yet wrong father attacking an idiot who drives like a maniac and put his daughter’s life in danger.

TM

ROAD rage: well done to father. If it was the other way round nothing would be said. We need to teach these illegal drivers a lesson.
