Extortion thugs now target the blind, deaf

[Currantly]

It started as a land invasion next to a piece of land that was donated to blind and deaf people of Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.

Now, the blind and deaf are fearing for their lives and say they are at the mercy of extortionists who are allegedly demanding what has become known as a protection fee. Failure to pay could lead to their homes being taken by force.

Police have confirmed five people aged between 39 and 57 had been arrested on charges of extortion. They were expected to appear in the Mthatha Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.

Bloody hell, talk about robbing them blind.

I hope this issue doesn't fall on deaf ears.

They should just be caught... Lined up and shot in the bollocks.

Our criminals are woke, they dont discriminate based on disabilities. We as a country have achieved true equality!

If they rob them of their blindness, they'll be able to see them coming next time.

"Protection fee"

Who is protecting the people that demand protection fee? You need to ask the right questions sometimes so they realise what they are doing might not be a good idea.

Surprised you are not blaming taxis for this.

Blind and deaf people may need community assistance, the community requested a facilitation fee and here we are.

Now that you mention it, most probably is the Taxi mafia doing this as well.

Being a man sometimes it's funny, It makes sense since you normally see a pregnant woman who is on a wheelchair, she can't walk, you see a pregnant woman who has no limbs but have a boyfriend.. you wonder how or what did they saw into her after the baby is born they run away

Good. EC people voted for the ANC now reap what you sow. Hell they begged for this.

Whilst all ANC supporters are blind and deaf, not all those who are blind and deaf are ANC supporters

 

[PaulNOTsaul]

How did these thugs ask for a protection fee from the deaf?

I would have loved to see that

Nothing a quick mob justice wouldn’t fix.

Not sure if it is lost in translation:

Are you saying you not sure why

1. Disabled women getting pregnant or
2. Men running away after babies are born
