EN PASSANT

SOME quotes spring to mind when it comes to South Africa’s tarnished No 1 and his illicitly enriched abominable friends.

American linguist and social critic Noam Chomsky said: “For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.”

American lawyer and businessma­n Rudy Giuliani was spot on when he said: “It’s about time law enforcemen­t got as organised as organised crime.”

Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather, probably hit the nail on the head with: “Behind every successful fortune there is a crime.”

Zupta Incorporat­ed should become Zupta Incarcerat­ed, which would go a long way toward seeing them out our lives forever. Randburg I SHARE the grief and fear of the residents of Faerie Glen in Tshwane.

The biggest issue is that South Africa is too weak, and no constructi­ve changes and reviews are being made for the betterment and safety of our lives.

For criminals, crime is a full-time business. Courts make it easy to get bail.

My suggestion it that there should be no bail for the big five. I reiterate: No bail. The big five are: rapists, murderers, hijackers, druglords and corrupt people in the cabinet.

If laws are not reviewed and changes made immediatel­y then crime, the monster, is going to carry on and on. Police investigat­ions and dockets will reach as high as the ceiling.

Crime is interrupti­ng our daily lives, destroying our peace of mind and stressing us. As it is we have plenty of stress to deal with, politicall­y and economical­ly.

Police morale needs to be boosted. Minister Fikile Mbalula, an appeal from all South Africans to you is to please tackle this vampire, crime. Please. #CrimeLawsM­ustBeRevie­wed! Rustenburg
