NO.
Anonymous - Wednesday 20 February 2008
 
Although I am still waiting for the SAPS to turn up for a call about a burglary attempt at my house some 4 years ago, I have had very little personal experience of any service or lack thereof from our "security services". However, if I have to believe just one percent of the reports in the media about crime and corruption in these services, the drunken orgies in the military and observe how the Metro Police (former Traffic Departments?) seem to blatantly ignore traffic problems in favour of income generating activities (eg. a road block teeming with officers standing idle within a few meters of non-operational traffic lights causing traffic congestion, then I can't help but but be concerned. When you then hear rumours of how many traffic officials are owners of taxis, observe how these taxis ignore traffic regulatuions, hear how they pass a R50 note in their Id. books when stopped for an offence to be let off, and then hear that an organisation like the Scorpions are to be disbanded, when they are persueing high profile govermnent officials for corruption, then you really start getting worried. If you then read that a purportedly squeaky clean future president of this country goes to great lengths to stop doccuments that could implicate him in serious crime, that is when you can only say: "NO"!
