Shoot to kill
12/04/2008 07:52
I guess Mr. Zuma is right to back the ministers but no need to kill. South Africa is still in a tough transformation stage and has been tremendously hurt by the former racists goverments. The authorities should always respect themthelves as well as the free democratic rules and there is no way fist to talk so bad from a minister and second there is no need to kill but to shoot to set off in order not to harm other people anymore. Never go to extrems as a goverment.

Zuma strictly anti crime
12/04/2008 08:40
Zuma shocked in this article. i mean he has wisdom on how to deal with crime. actually Zuma he is the revotionslist, but at this moment he can't be our president. o think Zuma should become the minister of prisoners. kick Ngconde Balfor or charles to take his position in 2009.And Susan Shabangu must kickout Mr Thabo Mbeki to become our president in 2009. go mushinwethu go!!!!!!!! shoot to kill. Zuma striclty anti crime, but not the president. - Tivani |

...no need to kill?
12/04/2008 08:40
Says Urs Wernli, who can quietly slip back to Switzerland at any time he so wishes, leaving the rest of us in the lurch!
As a matter of interest, Switzerland has some 420,000 assault rifles stored at private homes, mostly SIG 550 types. Additionally, there are some 320,000 assault rifles and military pistols and there are several hundred thousand other semi-automatic small arms in private possession.
Not surprised there isn't much crime there, are you? - James Scott |

Shoot to kill
12/04/2008 08:51
It was a fair comment from the deputy minister due to the fact that crime and criminality is at its worst in South Africa.At this point in time we might as well implement the new strategy by mama Shabangu.We cannot have a society of murderers going on a killing spree just because society is always linient to them. - Georgie |

Dis hoe dit hoort
12/04/2008 08:56
Mr Zuma. Jy is 'n ware leier. Ek stem 100% saam. Dis hoogtyd ons die misdadigers vasvat en klaarkry met hierdie alewige debatvoering. Dankie vir die hoop wat jy gee. En ek is seker u sal nie toelaat dat selfs Eskom onder u leierskap so droog sal maak nie. Uiteindelik. Iemand wat dinge wil regruk. God se rykste seen op u. - Doug |

Botswana has Democracy NAILED!!!
12/04/2008 09:06
Not too far away, is a country blessed with peace and plenty. Botswana, a shining example of Democracy with a water tight constitution ... Where does SA get off with the whole "WE have a second-to-none Democracy"?
Wake up SA, I spent 18 months in prison for a crime I commited, i deserved it ... but let me tell you, prison in SA is a party, you go in and come out better trained to commit a crime AND get away with it, SA needs to toughen up, victims die and criminals go free. - Jason Nel |

The Zuma Era
12/04/2008 09:10
yes well, maybe I have had a misconception about the man. Thinking he may be a PAPER TIGER was so wrong. Could this be the start of some good govermental policies and turning this sick society of ours around. Those three issues are paramount to us not loosing it on this continent!I have something to look forward to that could be positive for a change. - dawie |

Kill all the criminals
12/04/2008 09:13
Good Minister ,shoot to kill
For organizations still looking for votes next year will try to condemn the statement by the minister and the ANC and will mask this as a violation of the constitution. The truth is wait until the criminal kills your loved one, rape them and go free ( due to so call lack of evidence) then you will know that we need to do something about crime. Police die every day trying to quarantine the situation and apprehend criminals while criminals don?t give warning shots. I support the minister shoot to kill, it about time.

Agree shoot the dogs
12/04/2008 09:37
Swiss national? We would have enjoyed your comment if you were educated. It seems you lack a lot of it when one looks at your spelling. I must admit that English is also not my strong point but rather Portuguese.
The government wants to know what the public is doing about crime. There is not a lot you can do if the police are told not to shoot and weapon licenses are very difficult to obtain. Mr Zuma is stating the obvious. Any South African will automatically kill those which are threatening the life of their family. Thanks Mr Zuma we are already doing for the last 14 years. We do not need your permission.

Zuma, SA's Future
12/04/2008 09:52
Way to Go Mr Zuma, I am one of those South African's who seriously thought of leaving because of crime. But Mr Zuma's comments on the improvement of the health, education and justice sectors gives me new hope for our country. You have my vote for president Mr Zuma! - Jaci |

not the time to do
12/04/2008 09:52
Mr Zuma this is not right statement. the ANC know the inside of jail. They gave me license to kill the opressors and steal little to get them bakc. Yo you should think. We like to kill and that the opressor got no weapons. Why do you want to take my rights away. now nno more democracy for me. Sopho - Evans |

Its a sensetive issue!
12/04/2008 09:59
Yes, "shoot to kill" is a good strategy but is not always the best option. Are the victims allowed to protect themselves if criminals invade their homes while sleeping?Will the law protect them if they shoot these bastards? Let it be debate on higher ranks. - Thabo |

shoot to kill.
12/04/2008 10:08
As a Tax payer and law abiding citizen and vitcim of criminal activity, i strongly support Mr Zuma and Susan Shabangu's comments. We cannot live in a country where criminals attack the very same people whom are to protect us, even a recent incident of taxi drivers beating up a metro police officer is totally horendous. If the police do not kill in order to protect then what role do they play in society and where are our taxes going to if there is no visible change as far as security is concernedS - luthando dlamini |

SHOOT TO KILL
12/04/2008 10:35
That is the first step!Its on the same principle as the criminals. The criminals dont ask questions! They just kill, murder, rape! The police need to protect their lives in order to protect the law abiding citizens of South Africa. - Silvio |

shooting and killing of criminal
12/04/2008 10:57
i do agree with deputy minister and mr honourable gedleyihlikisa zuma on their comment about killing of criminals by police,because if police are not given the power to kill they'll be killed by criminals and they've already been killed while they are innocent. - mashele sydwell |

Its about time
12/04/2008 11:03
I totally agree with Zuma and Shabangu. Its time that the police be reinstated as the peace keepers and protectors of SA's people. Its high time that criminals pay for their crimes. I say shoot first and ask questions later - Mugen |

Shoot to Kill
12/04/2008 11:12
It is about time that victims of crime and police take rights away from criminals who are "protected species" under the constitution!!! The minister who used the words like "shoot to kill" or "kill the bastards" gets my full support. People are now "gatvol" the way criminals are treated with "kids gloves". - Freddy |

I have been to Switzerland on a few occasions and was always delighted in the naive relatively crime free country. So I guess it is difficult for you to understand the fear that we live in. Our government went to extremes with regards to human rights to the point were law abiding citizens have been deprived of our rights. What I am saying is that we are returning from one extreme to a level of normality. Too late for a lot of victims though. - Doorboot |

force respect
12/04/2008 11:44
An armed society is a civilized society. Nobody will treat any one without respect. He/she does not know how the other party will react. Maybe time for SA to be armed and to experience freedom. If the criminals suspect that you may be armed and every bystander as well, yes then they may think twice before just killing innocent people. - Arm the society |

We have had enough of crime. I have always been a DA supporter - that's until they attacked the deputy minster for her comments and asked for her resignation. I have now turned my back on the DA.

Eye for an Eye..by choosing the criminal path and vilating other people's human rights..you gave up your rights to society..we rely on the police and they get gunned down..NO SECOND chance to violators..shoot to kill and save time and money in court..and then they walk free - Tony Britz |

I'm somewhat suspicious of Zuma's strong comments on crime and punishment. He is certainly saying what people want to hear. But, the proof is in the pudding, isn't it? Well done to both Shabangu and Zuma for speaking out... now if we can only see the theory in practice. Personally, I'd like to see more criminals and less victims fear for their lives. - Charlotte |

Too little too late
12/04/2008 13:57
Way too late to realize that most of the intelligent people have left. You can not stop a speeding train that easy. How will you explain to your children and grandchildren that you screw the only chance you had because of greediness. We do not love our neighbours as commanded. You will have trouble to explain that to the next generations. But then, I do not think they will know the difference anyhow. Who will you then blame? The intelligent people who have left for safer countries and more job opportunities? Just remember you are supporting the outflow of good talent and experience with the current policies.
I support the view of shooting the bastards. Tit for tat.

Go Zuma from Ex-Pat
12/04/2008 14:29
Now living in the US I would do anything to go back and have my kids have the life their that they are having here.
I do think that no bail for rapists should be clarified. I think it should be no bail for violent rape. I have seen to many 'Date Rape' situations where the girl tries to spite some guy, and it never happened. But if there are signs of violence such as guns scratch marks and breaking in then NO BAIL...
Now all he must do is address Telkom and Eskom and I will vote for him. - Chris |
