I too will apologise unreservedly for my suspicions if that happens, but if it does not I think the humanitarian thing to do - and the ruling party that once was also my party should not forget its compassionate principles - is to euthanase Shabir so as to spare him and his family unnecessary suffering....not to mention medical costs that they clearly cannot afford. . sonwabile");

Well, maybe for now but guys you are one foot before you are even worse than us.

document.write("The strategy of the ANC seems to be that, by using smoke and mirrors and insane mouth pieces such as Malema they will totally confuse the SA public. And add a number of daily doses of lies and retoric, and claiming not being able to, or won't, provide the facts and the ANC is proving that it is ALWAYS NOT CAPABLE. Maybe Shaik was about to spill the beans and topple JZ? . Punch drunk");

WE should vote these fools out and put in people that has values and respect for those who put them in power. Balfour you are a fool trying to tell South Africans the system works. Shaiky will get the spice to cure him to live - THE ANC spice - plus R5 million. You can vote soon to get these fools out where they belong in jail. The ANC has not said a work about Carl Nohouse ag Niehause. Have they given him parole as well for frauding the system. JOke this bunch.. JJ");

Even with all the HRCs' and Public Protectors' and a CONSTITUTION and BILL of RIGHTS; all these an absolute fraud-it doesn't exist, like religion we await for the saviour; wake up South Africans there is NO accountability and NO god to aid us. You have been duped in thinking you have rights - stand up for yrselves! a thug political party like all the previous and present political parties who behave with impugnity - trust me there will be an uprising, we the public will reach a stage when we will tolerate NO MORE and we will hold all those accountable in a \"TRC-like\" forum. you wait!

Its not on the way to being one, its there already. And there is more to come. Who wants to bet Najwa Petersen will not sit more that 5 years? Any takers? Did not think so! Look at the list: Jacob Zuma (admitted to rape. not in jail), Allan Boesak (in jail. out the next year), Winnie Mandela (found guilty of kidnapping and accessory to murder. never went to jail), J Arthur Brown (guilty of stealing more than 650 Million rand. never saw the inside of jail), Tony Yengeni (don't even ask. and now he is to have a position of power), Robert McBride (at least he is dumb and no threat), etc...etc...etc...

The article is about morality and his release is about health or politics. This isn't the first time in the history of man and neither will it be the last. Afterall he was the fall guy.

No problem, never mind it costs millions. Let ANC criminals off lightly? No problem, we're the ANC - we can do what we like. Appoint fraudsters into power, no problem, we're the ANC. Fix up healthcare, education? No - that takes too much effort. Rather change street names. Yes, folks, it's the AN Circus on the go again.

I could then use about ZAR 5 Million for my defence in court and invest the balace incase I go to jail. This will give me a good monthly interest so that I can bribe prison gaurds and Doctors, and whwn I get out after 1 years I could use the money to buy a nice house and join a good Golf Club. I will then also have the qualifications to work as a highly paid consultant for the government.<br />Please reply soonest, as witout the funds my plan can't work. Mark");

They would #### this country down the drain and all the ANC supporters would still vote for them because they are as thick as rocks. The BIGGEST mistake that the apartheid government made was to not have equal education for white and black. If you have been educated and know right from wrong you'll open your eyes and see what the ANC is doing to this country and not vote for them. Unfortunately we all know who is going to win and keep the slippery slope oiled. To infinity and beyond....... WTF");

document.write("I would like to thank the ANC, including all of YOU that voted and would still vote for them, for all the crime, corruption, miss management of funds, high electricity, bad roads, SAA and not giving a #### about anyone other than themselves.
