We should look to Zulu customs, Sharia laws

WE MUST journey back to the proud tradition and culture of the Zulu nation in this province and elsewhere in South Africa.

The high standards of behaviour, virtues and morals form the fibre ingrained in the Zulu nation. The household is made up of elders, parents and children all living in harmony.

This lineage is interlinked as they serve each other with high values and never compromise under any circumstances.

The larger society plays an instrumental role in providing checks and balances. The elders are duty bound to keep the Zulu customs, eradicate all forms of crime and mete out punishment, even driving out a wrongdoer from his homestead.

For acts of criminality, parents are held accountable.

The Zulu nation and its elders must apply this rigidly to all who live in Kwazulu-natal.

South Africa is attracting foreign investors and institutions. This alone will ensure our welfare and well-being. But criminals are having an impact by targeting the vulnerable, which sends a different message to investors locally and internationally.

The government must also urgently address criminality within its structures. Politicians guilty of an offence must have their assets seized in recovery.

The government must consider Zulu customs and Islamic Sharia laws and come up with laws that will give people what they want.

People must be free from crime and report all incidents to police.
