Dear, Mr President. I am writing this letter with a heavy heart.
I’m speaking on behalf of millions of voiceless South Africans who seek your urgent intervention.
President Jacob Zuma, you are the father of us all.
Our beautiful women and young girls are being slaughtered like sheep.
We’re even afraid to go out to the shops, visit our neighbours or to go to church.
We are under severe attack by criminals who peddle drugs, kidnap, rape and kill. Is this what our forefathers and fallen struggle heroes fought and gave their lives for?
The crime in the form of drugs and cold-blooded murders followed by setting bodies alight is sick.
Mr President, we want you to urgently establish a task team to crack down on this scourge and arrest these criminals.
In fact, Zuma must amend existing laws. We don’t need to talk anymore.
Bringing back the death penalt y will solve the problem. This will prove to the nation that you care about us.
Decisive punitive action must be taken as a clear signal that criminality will not be tolerated in our country.
Criminals cannot be treated with kid gloves. They’re taking advantage of our beautiful women and sometimes too liberal laws.
This is a country of law and order, not a banana republic.
Mojalefa Moanakoena, PPF-JHB chairman
