LAY CHARGES AGAINST JACOB ZUMA I’M calling all taxpayers to lay charges against Jacob Zuma at your nearest police station.

ROD THE name Jacob means “deceiver” in the Bible. It is precisely what Jacob Zuma did with Nkandla. He deceived the whole country and still keeps on misleading us all.

GET GANGSTERS TO STOP SHOOTINGS WHY call in the police, security forces, guards and the Education Department to assist in curbing the violence in the northern areas? Go directly to these “gangsters” and ask them politely to stop this shooting which is destabilis­ing the schools. They also need a bit of attention. It is noticeable that the gang violence all over the country is only in the “coloured” areas.

OBSERVER WHAT on earth is going on – kids being shot by gangs? Where are the cops? Somebody please

investigat­e!

WON’T HAVE ANY RHINO LEFT SOON

NOT too long now and we won’t have one rhino left!

BARNEY RHlNO killings: life for life. Hang one or two poachers. See how quickly they stop.

MACHINE DESPERATEL­Y NEEDED AT HOSPITAL WHAT a wonderful donation of the state-of-the-art Gene-Xpert TB testing machine. Lucky for St Albans prison to receive it. I feel it should have been placed in a state hospital, where it is desperatel­y needed.

THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTI­NG US, MADIBAZ THE strength of a provincial sport federation lies squarely in its supporting structures. The Madibaz is but one. Thank you for representi­ng our region.

Thank you, boytjies.

WASTING OUR CHILDREN’S TIME “’PROFESSION­AL student’ behind protest”: why are these men still at the college, they are too old? They are supposed to be at work, no wonder they are wasting our children’s time. They are not even good examples academical­ly, they are not even looking like students. They must be kicked out of the college as soon they fail their exams.

NO MONEY FOR WINNIE WHAT makes some think Winnie Mandela should be in Madiba’s will. She got her share on divorce. I bet he does not feature in her will.

SUSPEND MEMBERS CHARGED IN COURT THE ANC must start to suspend its members like Ronald Niegaardt who are involved in criminal cases or is this the culture of the ANC?

THANKS FOR PROMPT SERVICE WATER department at the municipali­ty, thank you for prompt attention to a damaged water pipe at 119 Hintsa Street, Motherwell NU2. Reported Friday and repaired Saturday! Much appreciate­d.

EP KINGS GEORGE Byron, you are soooo funny stating the Kings are calling on their big guns against Free State – more of an ammo dump than an arsenal. You make Barry Hilton look flat.

FRANKY SMASHCAKE EP Kings: well done to the players who always give everything they’ve got when playing. Cheeky Watson, when are you signing other new players? I don’t think six new players are enough. You will have to sign at least 12 new players in total to begin with. If the Kings also get serious injuries to your good players you will be left with only rookie players.

VOTING FOR DAGGA PARTY I LOVE the Dagga Party and Jeremy Acton, who I think is away with the fairies. I am going to give him all my many votes.

DON’T BLAME INTERPRETE­R DON’T blame the translator. You try not only answering questions but also asking, simply because a policeman won’t not can’t speak English!

REPLIES TO READERS’ COMMENTS THE ANC’s Christian Martin should pack away his loin cloth and spear, and embrace the year of 2014. Bet you that his pal, “comrade Cedric Frolick”, just wishes all his new friends at Globe will refer to him as such. “Comrade” is no longer cool anymore, Christian. That’s why he is where he’s at and you are just . . . Shame.

GNS WHAT planet do you live on, Christian Martin? The whole world has rejected the colossal failure called communism, yet you persist with referring to people as “comrade”. No doubt your massive salary doesn’t accord with your status as Comrade Martin.

TP SORRY, Smurf, I don’t agree. June Steenkamp deserves every cent she gets from Oscar Pistorius. Didn’t you hear – he killed her child?

DEN I FULLY agree with Chris Roberts. This arrogant Chippa Ngcolomba is all about himself – me me me. To waste R45 000 monthly just to show his status plus his salary is outrageous. We are sick of this squanderin­g of our money.

RATEPAYER DEAR John, quit complainin­g about a casual’s wages so often. There must be a reason you are not employed permanentl­y. Perhaps you moan too much to others.

READER WITH regard to Umeshani Edgar’s comment on Roland Williams, she was in her nappies when Roland was studying and for the record he never had three jobs because his mum paid for his studies.

DAN ROLAND Williams: something very wrong when a mere spokesman generates more publicity than the employer he serves. Surely his bosses cannot be pleased. I wonder what percentage of those of us actually paying rates would support his continued employment?
