ODDS AND ENDS Proteas: Dale Steyn is the Christophe­r Reynolds Best bowler we have ever had.

Avoid another catastroph­e of unrest, the SANDF should recruit 18-year-old youngsters, one year training, call them up when the need arises, pay them the wage they receive wherever they work, this will rid unrest, release all the unfit, sick and lazy defence force members.

ZUMA NPA MEDICAL TEAM

Zuma is afraid of the truth. | STEFANUS OOSTHUIZEN

He is not sick when he has a crowd and starts singing and dancing but is only sick when he must appear in court, which is what he demanded. The courts are entitled to obtain a second opinion. I RICHARD ALLAN WARWICK

Former president Jacob Zuma is the most harassed person in this country. Every person has a right to medical consent before they can be examined or treated by any doctor but Zuma does not have such rights. I SIYABONGA DLADLA

Asking for a second opinion is legal. If he really is sick then what’s the problem? I LIZ RUDY

He must either spill the beans on everyone who benefited from the Arms deal, or he must take the fall himself and he’ll never be called a snitch. This will be his contempt of court charge which I bet he will also show the middle finger to. If this strategy works, I’m officially adopting it if I ever run in with the law. I THABANG LINDOKUHLE MOSESE

SPHITHIPHI­THI EVALUATOR

I went through the Twitter account of this lady trying to check what she said that is criminal but found nothing except that she likes Zuma a lot and she’s very radical. I CHAINI MAREKA

What I know is that during their quest for more power and wealth at the expense of the poor and the marginalis­ed they don’t care how souls are lost, all they care about is their desperatio­n to get back onto the gravy train. Shame, so-called RET forces and their clueless foot soldiers. I THAPELO MKHONTO

BONGINKOSI KHANYILE

Is he the only instigator? There are more definitely. I RIA VISSER

He is no longer fighting for a good cause, he must stay there with his father. I LEVERS SHIVITI

Khanyile is a protester for rent. If you have a grievance, he is willing to take to the streets to fight your cause. FMF, now Zuma’s incarcerat­ion, what next? Send him back to jail until he learns to abide by the laws of SA. I JEREMY WILSON

BABITA DEOKARAN

Thanks to the whistle-blowers. But still not one of those corrupt officials in jail? Disgusting. I JOHNNIE JOHNSTONE

I just really don’t know how to describe these evil greedy perpetrato­rs of this heinous crime. Disgusting. | CARL CHABATA

So the State failed to protect the key witness? What does that mean for anyone who wants to be a whistle-blower clearly the Hawks are incompeten­t in doing the job. They will feed you to the wolves. I XOLANI MAKHOBA

It’s almost as though the police only discovered after she was murdered that she was a key witness and/or whistle-blower. Shameful.
