  1. Uplift Back and colored people and communities. Institute land reform to give us our land back that was taken during forced removals and given to whites. Why do they get to keep our land? If we don't do that crime is going to get worse until the whole country is in flames and everyone loses and the army won't make any difference.

  2. But also we need understand as citizens of this Country that we also have a role 2 play, if they try 2 assist us,same as us we have a responsibility 2 change our lifes n 2 develope our communities.actually change comes from an individual not the Govenment their role is 2 assist us 2 make a better change.

  3. But Njengele it is not only about who brings drugs into the country, but also who and how many illegal plots and other hidden houses that manufacture drugs within the country? I stand to be corrected though it would be also very helpful to broaden our way of looking deep into this and that would help to try and meet this challenge head on.

  4. The assets that are confiscated should be used to assist young, unemployed married couples to move out to areas where they can add value. Maybe with greenhouses and tourism. The backlog for housing is huge in the Western Cape. Houses are also too expensive in the Western Cape. There are many mineral processing engineers sitting at home. Since this is an emergency, the state institutions should prioritize mineral processing applications, especially from junior mineral processing applicants that can utilise the mineral processing assets that are confiscated. The junior plant owners should give 30% to a community trust to help married couples move out to areas where they can generate value. The amount of money that is lost due to illegal mining is alarming. Esimates are around R60 billion.

  5. The king pins don't stay in areas where their drugs are being sold,they look like business ppl in decent areas like estates that is why police intelligence have to work very hard to come up with information of who these ppl are and where do they stay,the unfortunate part is that we have top police officials working with these drug lords and yhey will know as soon as a plan is in place on how they are going to be tackled,ppl like Matlala told the ppl who went to arrest him that he knew that they were coming,that should tell u exactly how much problem we have in the police.

  6. What confuses me is that KZN is labelled the most violent province overflowing with hitmen and guns, yet it never receives army deployment. Is KZN being purposely sabotaged to chase away big business and investors?
