So De Ruyter was onto something then

Arrest means nothing if no ones goes to jail and no money is recovered.

Arrest means nothing if no ones goes to jail and no money is recovered.

Recovering of monies is a bonus at this point..

Right now, they should be sentencing these okes to 20+ years in prison, to set an example for those not yet caught or those waiting on the station for the gravy train to pick them up..

Is Karen and the other saboteurs on the list? Nobody cares about some low level truck drivers swapping coal. Let us know when the big fish are caught...

 

[The_David]

Whats the conviction rate on that arrest rate?
Which political party are the arrested pledged to?

“Over the period from April 2022 to date, there are 2,147 Eskom cases that have been reported to the South African Police Service (SAPS) and about 1,586 of these are under investigation. Since that period…126 arrests have been made,” he said.

I would love to see the number of arrests/cases since April 2023

I care about the truck drivers too. I want them all rotting in jail. Every single person that ever stole a single cent.

 

[Priapus]

126 out of 2000 cases? Probably ends with zero convictions.

 

[Solver]

Just need 1 arrest and conviction. A minister - any really, can take your pick. The rest of the thieving scum will quickly fall into place

 

[Neo_X]

MyBB are you going to force me to go look up the definition of crackdown?
6% conviction rate does not seem to give the word justice?

 

[TheChamp]

Arrests are useless, convictions would be a better measure.

0% conviction atm, you can be arrested and charge and still found not guilty.

 

[TheChamp]

I am sure it's not 0% but yes, the 6% is just arrests.

For once I actually agree with you.......things are looking up.

I want to see public beheadings. Anything less just won’t stem the tide.

We are unfortunately too civilised for that.

 

[UrBaN963]

We are unfortunately too civilised for that.

We are not too civilized for anything in this country.

Except electricity, we’re too civilized for that.

 

[Jola]

We are unfortunately too civilised for that.

We have clearly demonstrated that we are not civilised in this country.
