I was part of a group of pensioners who witnessed how a policewoman was struggling with pickpockets at Parow Hyper. And I have experienced grave security problems there myself. From disgusted pensioners who are obliged to go to the centre as it is the pay point for monthly pensions; quo vadis ANC and SAP. From William and the pensioners in the north.

Sodwana Bay guy, how can you say things like that? What have we black people in this country done to you? I was so mad yesterday when I saw that on television. The whole black and white thing will never end. – Shirley Mbema, Gugulethu

The traffic department needs to do something about the taxis in Goodwood. They are driving up the wrong side of the side streets to avoid the queues, they are using the turning-only lanes to go straight and are completely blocking the intersections so no one can get out of the side streets. They are out of control.

South Africa’s population will top 56 million in 2016 but we still have under 21 000 traffic police to monitor nearly 12 million vehicles and drivers leading to 50 or more deaths a day on our roads for which our politicians, who fail to act, must be held responsible. Also our murder and robbery rates are increased by the absence of police on our roads. So when will this insanity end? – Richard Benson, Road Safety Action Campaign

‘Is this what Fort Calata died for?’ When I read what Lukhanyo said on Tuesday the tears fell. Come August those in power will see that some of us are tired of this. – Shirley Mbema, Gugulethu
