Fikile-Ntsikelelo Moya 1 comments | 257 views

Spare a thought for South Africa. Unlike Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema in their times of trouble, it has no Friends of South Africa to call on.

Dr Mamphela Ramphele will lead a legal charge to prevent controversial policeman Lieutenant General Richard Mdluli from performing any policing duties. I think ...

	South Africa is lucky to have citizens like Ramphele. The way in which Mdluli has been protected is an atrocity.
	Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa’s shifting of Mdluli to another position was sufficient. The court action is unnecessary.
	Mdluli has not been found guilty of any wrongdoing. Innocent until proven guilty should apply.
	The allegations against Mdluli are further tainting the reputation of the police and are affecting officers’ morale. He should step down.
