At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
So basically, using the gautrain is now life threatening became see leaving its locale is a death warrant.
Your headlines and report on this incident is incorrect. No Laduma or Lennon road in Marlboro Gardens.
I think the police stink, they are useless and that is why criminals get away with murder, because the police are too useless to catch crinals. They are too busy thinking of scams to line their own pockets, bribery and corruption. I have a mate who owns a Jewellery stone who was robbed and beaten, by Metro Cops and SAP together. They stone 5,5million rand and where do you turn to then. I know of Chinese people that have been Murdered also in the industry I’m told 10 people murdered on the past year, not on of then has any police feedback. Get away with murder in SA. Gangsters Paradise why don’t we implement National Service into the Police Force because a national serviceman will pick out lazy gravy train corrupt policeman very quickly. There needs to be accountability for these people!!!!!!!
What the hell is happening in SA? Is Zuma even reading the News and noticing that Civilians are now daily under attack. I get the impression it’s the Government’s Modus Operandi to take focus away from their own wrong-doing by allowing this! What’s happening is wrong!
Consider the facts, was it not due to the unruly actions of the “previously disadvantaged” that apartheid was introduced?
Since 1994 we are sliding on a slippery road towards anarchy. Viva ANC Viva.
