No idea, ask them to say "heathen" in Arabic and press the record button on your phone just before they answer?

Now that people are being sent to jail for it you can bet on such tactics entering the fray eventually.
 
Shame, this dude's comment on that Hermanus picture of political dodginess.

Some of us were called names last year when we said, the farm attacks are systematic and orchestrated by politicians.

It's apparently very easy to provoke someone to do something wrong. Just ask many of the people at protests who were provoked into assaulting people or vandalizing property.

This is a common claim that appears to simply ignore the fact that having big families was the norm. When black nurses baulk at giving someone contraceptives and treat them like they're doing something wrong not having a large family I find it hard to believe their motivation is to encourage the use of child grants. So while there may be some misguided people who keep getting pregnant to get more grant money it seems unlikely that this is representative of the bulk of the population.

Doesn't matter whether people are having more kids on purpose or not. The fact is that kids are being born into poverty which is a recipe for disaster over a prolonged period. Saw some stats last year which showed that the people living off grants are now over 17mill vs people paying tax of 15.5milll. In 2001 there were only 4mill people living off grants and 12mill people paying tax.

Hermanus public violence accused still in custody

Thirty-eight people who face public violence charges related to protests that followed an attempted land claim in Hermanus last month, are back in custody after the local Magistrate's Court ran out of time to finalise their bail applications on Tuesday.

"I am rolling this case until tomorrow," Magistrate Jeremy Maarman said to the first group of 11.

After that group left, the remaining 29 filed in and stood shoulder to shoulder in the front of the court.

Charges were dropped against two of them and the bail application of the remaining 27 was postponed to April 12.

Members of the community who waited for them outside of the court, were annoyed by the news.

They marched back to Zwelihle down Main Road, while police kept a monitoring distance.

The cases were postponed because additional staff, brought in to help with interpretation and the processing of the accused, caused proceedings to start late.
