SAPS neglect for disabled….

I accept that emergency situations may give rise to use of extraordinary means, but does this mean that they can use this term to cover any “emergency” situation. Maybe we need to food, in an emergency?

DA deserves potential sanction…..

What we need is the tough questions being asked and then reported back to the public and not the other way around…..

Mo Shaik to head NIA????

Could this be a case of jobs for pals?

Striking hooligans

I caught news footage of the striking workers involved in the Municipal strikes in Cape Town and Johannesburg. What I saw were people intent on destruction, the union officials were painfully unprepared. They lacked the resource to control their members and everything deteriorated into an absolute shambles. So there were appeals that we need to…

JZ’s measured accountability….

One year down – what a ride

Today mark’s the one year anniversary since I started this blog… I can hardly believe how far it has come and what an impact it has made on my life. I started this blog after a discussion with Adii Rockstar, who I had the privilege of working with for two short months, before he ventured into…
