Politics

President Jacob Zuma feels nothing for SA as he puts the ANC before his country.

Jacob Zuma has no respect for the people of South Africa. He laughs at the problems we have. He is a weak president who puts the ANC first and foremost.

Zuma says he can’t stop laughing in Parliament at serious questions and all the way to the bank at the expense of the taxpayer. Does he take nothing seriously? His term of office can’t end soon enough.

Minister Malusi Gigaba wants to create a Home Affairs that South Africans had never imagined. We also never imagined that he would try to destroy our tourism industry with his visa regulations. – SR van Wyk, Oranjezicht

No one will seriously look at the AU because Mugabe was voted chairman.

Most citizens who vote for the same public servants are living in a fools’ paradise. Can’t you see how the system abuses you? None so blind as those who do not want to see.

Tony Ehrenreich, what you do with your salary is your concern, not ours. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Sport

I’m amazed at the difference in the media coverage of the deaths of two of the world’s rugby greats. John Gainsford hardly got a mention, even in Cape Town where he was a hero. Jonah Lomu, who is not even South African, was treated as if he was royalty. How good could Lomu have been? He couldn’t even score against the Boks.

A really bad aspect of professional sport is that players and coaches just go where the most money is. No loyalty, no honour, no integrity. Go, Eddie Jones.

Crime

Bellville is a lawless, dangerous place and police don’t care.

We don’t know what to do about police in Bellville anymore or the security of Parksig Villas in Conradie Street. Why must residents put up with gangsterism when most locals are unable to defend themselves?

Maybe I shouldn’t have done a degree in sociology, because the apparent negative social phenomena in Bellville are sickening. – William Botha

Vladimir Putin is a hypocrite. With possible knowledge of who shot down MH17 over Russia he did little to assist in the investigation of that tragedy. But when a plane carrying Russian tourists is destroyed by a bomb he vows to track down the culprits and he orders bombing raids on Syria. What goes around comes around. – Charles Brown, Sea Point

Well done, Nkosinathi. You are an inspiration to me and many others. We need more people like you to show the will of achieving your dreams. I salute you, young man. – Nick, Plumstead
