To trivialize the dreadful scourge and tragedy of crime in South Africa by using it for one's political ends is filthy and despicable. This march might have been about farmers, but it is also serving to focus attention on all crimes! It has often been said, that in a Western-style democracy such shocking crime statistics would result in the firing of the government. Let it happen here, that the people of South Africa force the resignation of this government which has served its own interests at every turn, and demand the appointment of a president and cabinet who are not only dedicated to the service of their populace, but who are honest and competent in their jobs! We have tolerated these less-than-mediocre leaders for far too long, enabled their corruption to our own detriment, and as a result innocent men, women and children have died. We have a police force riddled with criminals, led by a clown, and our NPA is a joke! Stop the race debate and stand in unity against all crime!
