Dear Kaizer

I don't think any of us requested to be part of your "forum" or to be sent
stupid and offensive articles like this one. Please advocate vigilantism or
the death penalty...

we should all say as we said many years ago; “One murderer, one bullet”

> THE APPOINTMENT OF BHEKI CELE – VICTORY FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST CRIME
>
> By: Kaizer Mohau

> Many in the media have responded with their usual disapproval on the
> appointment of Comrade Bheki Cele as the National police commissioner
> by the President of the Republic Comrade Jacob Zuma.
>
> But the media is not telling us as South Africans as to what is it
> that Comrade Bheki does not have for him to be respected and accepted
> as the commissioner. The media has in the past made numerous
> statements and calls for our government to deal with crime as a
> priority considering the levels of crime in the country.
>
> I therefore find it very deceitful on the part of the media; their
> commentators and their handlers in the form of the Democratic Alliance
> and COPE, for them to now say the government should not appoint whom
> it believes will deal with crime decisively.
>
> During the elections in fact in all the elections we had in the
> democratic set up the opposition made the issue of crime one of their
> political ace-cards against the government, but that now the
> government provides leadership in this context, then the government is
> playing the so – called political appointments game.
>
> Do the media and the opposition expect Comrade Jacob Zuma to appoint
> Bishop Tutu as our crime buster? No it wont work – the position of the
> National police commissioner is in its very nature a political
> position – the commissioner must ensure that the political promises we
> made to South Africans with regard to the fight against crime is
> implemented.
>
> For instance, the DA and its sister political gang, Cope, have
> indicated that the President is appointing people based on their
> political allegiance to the ruling party, what a nonsensical statement
> – it cannot work for our country to appoint anybody outside the ranks
> of the ANC, this is precisely because the ANC is the ruling party, it
> has won the elections and it was given a mandate so no other person
> outside the ANC will be determined enough to ensure that our people
> are not disappointed in this regard.
>
> It is very cheap and low – above all ridiculous for the DA to liken
> Cde Bheki Cele to Jackie Selebi – though both are from the ANC, the
> point is that Cde Bheki has shown through his leadership as the MEC
> for Transport, community safety and Liaison in Kzn, that he can do the
> job.
>
> Indeed criminals in this country must know that the Honeymoon is now
> over – the question of safety in our homes, in our streets, in our
> everyday lives is not a privilege but a right for which we are
> prepared to defend even if it means making the supreme sacrifice.
>
> As South Africans we must provide the necessary support to the
> national commissioner and ensure that those who are not affected by
> crime as we do, do not deny us the right to safety by opposing
> everything the ANC does – we should all say as we said many years ago;
> “One murderer, one bullet”.
