Came to say the first part. But alas this is SA where the police minister interferes in sovereign federal business and arrests people with permits on the beach and you get killed for enjoying a dop and siggie in your private home.Maybe these tonsils can direct traffic during load shedding instead of arresting people who are directing traffic during load shedding. Maybe the cANCer vermin can go fukk themselves.
Just saying.
And do what with them?
And do what with them?
So they’ll drive to busted traffic lights and arrest them instead of driving there to help direct traffic?
because they dont have fake qualifications yetWhy not employ some of these people, give them a bit of basic training in directing traffic, and enable them to do a proper job?

Why don't the ones we employ already direct traffic?Why not employ some of these people, give them a bit of basic training in directing traffic, and enable them to do a proper job?
Glad to see south africa has its priorities in order -_- , there is a clear shortage of traffic officers during loadshedding, seeing as loadshedding at stage 4-5 is now a staple why not train these begers and make it official, best of both worlds?
To put it in perspective it takes 1 1/2 hours to drive trough pinetown central during loadshedding, where as a normal day is about 15 minutes, most of it is from cars/taxis going straight in the turn lanes, messing up the flow, traffic officers to direct the traffic would solve this problem.
So the problem with training them is the legal requirements around making them "Peace officers" or whatever the hell they are referred to in this country now so that they can legally direct traffic.
We do need more traffic/metro officers without a doubt, but it needs to be done properly and they need to be full police officers rather than just traffic controllers.
I do wonder why the hell you try drive through the central of Pinetown ever![]()
I think they should be arrested.
A lot of the busy intersections are now being vandalized so that the beggars get to direct traffic even when there is no load shedding because they make a lot more directing traffic than begging.
1st prize would be to have JMPD, TMPD directing traffic obviously.
