WERE AUTOPSIES CARRIED OUT?

WHEN mentally ill patients who were transferred from Esidimeni died, were autopsies carried out? If not, why not? Is it possible that in the process of moving the patients staff neglected to give them their medication? Did they have food and water? Abrupt withdrawal from prescription drugs, in particular psychotropic drugs, like Benzedrine, could result in low blood pressure, seizures, coma and death.

The withdrawal of Benzedrine-Xanax, Valium, Ativan, etc can be worse than cocaine! The medical profession supports the billion-dollar prescription drug industry and we are not always given all the information about the shocking side effects of the drugs. Is withdrawal from prescription drugs the cause of the death of the 94 patients?

ONE wonders whether government involvement in the recent demise of psychiatric patients is not more sinister than meets the eye. It is a chilling reminder of Nazi Germany, where psychiatric patients were routinely and discreetly exterminated.

TRAFFIC PROBLEMS

TO our traffic officials, please be informed that Stanford Road, at the intersection between September Crescent and Marock Road, is treated as a one-way moving towards Cleary Estate in the morning peak time. Oncoming motorists are forced into a tight space next to the curb. Please do something about this dangerous act by reckless motorists.

TRAFFIC department, please develop a special department to deal exclusively with the lawless taxi drivers.

POLICE TAKE NO ACTION

FIVE reports to the SAPS regarding a suspicious-looking man lying on the bench in the Glen Hurd park all of last week and SAPS did nothing! On Sunday a car was stolen. Do better SAPS!

DID JZ MAKE INTRODUCTIONS?

I WONDER if Jacob Zuma offered to introduce the Guptas to Donald Trump? Do not laugh, for it may be true!

TIME TO CHANGE TERM

I DO not understand why people are still calling Motherwell units NU in this day and age. According to my understanding, NU stands for native unit. We would better refer to them as zones instead.

HORSE LOVING SHOP RIDE

“COMPLAINT after shop horse ride” (February 14) says the horse was petrified. What rubbish. Look at the relaxed reins and ears pricked forward. He's loving it!

EXPECT VALUE FOR MY MONEY

BILL (“Replies to readers’ comments”, February 14), we all agree on freedom of speech. As a subscriber to our newspaper, I expect value for my money and reading the repetitive, biased drivel from D R Galloway is not value.
