What happened to the Who Wants To Be a Millionair­e show last week on DStv? Questions appeared to be in Russian? Lyn

Trade unions call for the sacking of the chief executive officer of Comair. Fantastic. Where were these world-renowned economists when Dudu Myeni and her gang of thieves were looting and stealing from the South African Airways, leading it into bankruptcy and the basket case it is today? Disgusting. Tony Kmhwa

It’s horrifical­ly dangerous if it’s true that Russia is planning to bomb the trucks that might be carrying weapons for Ukrainians. How will they differenti­ate between the trucks carrying medical equipment and the vans carrying weapons? What about filling the sky above Ukraine’s cities with cargo planes of living supplies in UN/Red Cross colours – will they be shot down by Russian bombers, too? Teetotalle­r Kara

I refer to the article on Thursday about the bad experience­s at a frail care centre. I had my first disappoint­ing experience of an expensive, private frail care facility this year, after my mother had a stroke. These facilities are not what they sell in the glossy brochures. Be very alert and check up often should you need to leave your loved ones at such a place. Wayne

I read in the Heidelberg/Nigel local paper that the minister of small business developmen­t visited Ratanda in Heidelberg and promised, as usual, 30 million jobs by 2030. Since the birth of democracy in this country, the ANC could not even create five million jobs. If the people of Ratanda believe this, then the ANC will win the next election again. Viva, Herman Mashaba and John Steenhuise­n, viva. These two will be the ones to deliver. Let’s bury the ANC for good. Viva, the better South Africa, viva.

Popeye

Professor Sachs, our basic income grant is there to support people, but people must also do their share. Our birthrate is too high. Many unwanted babies are born so that the family can apply for another grant. Absent fathers and desperate, scared, ignorant mothers should all be educated that to receive a grant is a privilege, not a given. Babies are not piggy banks.

Morné Harmse is out of jail after 12 years for murder. Wow. What dimwit made that decision? Nick

Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine will cost countless lives in Africa through food and fuel shortages. South Africans will pay more for fuel and food. The world must make Russia pay – and get rid of Putin before, in desperatio­n, he uses nuclear weapons to destroy us. Richard Benson
