CAN’T WISH IT AWAY After 3-million years of evolutionary development on this planet based largely on meritocracy, Ismail Lagardien is going to have a hard time wishing it away with one article. NOEL MONEY OUT OF SA Why does the government allow foreigners to make money, run businesses, churches etc and take the money out of the country? They don’t pay tax and the congregants have the audacity to blackmail SA to say “release Bushiri or we won’t vote”! HEARTLESS REMARKS
The dark cloud that hungLU over the Hoërskool Driehoek after the death of four kids is very sad. My deepest condolences to the affected parents and the entire school, and a speedy recovery to those kids in hospital. To the leader of BLF, Andile Mngxitama, shame on you for your racial remarks. You are a heartless, racist, destructive leader of an organisation without a vision. I’m worried about those you are leading.
MBULELO NQONTSHA NO LONGER BEST In reply to Central Investor (February 4). Are you aware that the DA was removed by the ANC coalition on September 27 2018 which saw all the portfolio heads changed to representatives of the ANCled coalition? Why would John Best act on something that is not his portfolio or mandate? You should ask the incumbent placed there by the ANC to report back on your gripes.
REALIST ý Doesn’t Central Investor realise that John Best is no longer responsible for enforcing by-laws or the metro cops?
VICTOR MELDREW WAKE UP, NMBM Why do things have to deteriorate before people wake up? The Red Location has been discussed for years. Where is the beautiful tapestry made by the ladies of Keiskammahoek? This should be in PE, as it was paid for by local taxes, was it not? A MBDA project. Everyone was concerned when security was pulled off the streets of Central. Now look at the mess. There is a reason people object – it doesn’t take much to foresee the consequences. Please municipality, wake up!
M HART FREE ADVERTISING Free advertising for Webster’s Flooring? Half of The Herald of February 5 allocated to Webster’s Flooring signs on Main Road, Walmer. Really? Are you serious? What free advertising. ANDREW WELL DONE, SAPS I would like to salute our SAPS for the good work they are doing with the arrest of all these criminals.
MIKE, PE CAN’T LOOK AFTER SA Regarding the Red Location Museum – the ANC cannot look after its own heritage and history. How on earth can they be trusted to look after South Africa? Oh, hang on, ... Guptas, VBS and Bosasa . . . seems as though the ANC definitely know how to look after themselves.
GORDON UPTON HOLD THE PHONE After waiting 41 minutes and 13 seconds to get through to the municipality’s call centre, the call got cut! Since Bobani and his cronies have taken over city hall, the metro has become a desperate cry for help.
AVINASH RANCHOD DO YOUR JOB, SARS Where is SARS while all the corruption revelations are taking place? The silence is deafening! It is well known that many infamous criminals around the world have been jailed by tax authorities. Do your job now, SARS!
JOHN LLOYD, GEORGE WORLD CUP PROBE Should investigation also not be done into contracts allocated for the 2010 World Cup? FROTTIE FLUSH OF SUCCESS Hip hip hooray for Hennie Botes and his Choo (The Herald, February 2). A wonderfully practical solution to saving water and SA’s sanitation woes. The article is positive and uplifting, compared with the usual daily dose of gloom and doom, so a BIG thank you from me! HF
