Major new crime-fighting law planned for South Africa

President Cyril Ramaphosa's cabinet has approved the Criminal Law Amendment Bill of 2021 for processing in parliament, with the bill expected to make it easier to track and trace violent offenders in the country.

Someone just needs to sit and work through this new law and see how it will affect us normal citizens. More laws, more laws, more laws, more laws - the Communist way....

In a November 2019 parliamentary Q&A, minister of police Bheki Cele said that he had requested that the bill be put on hold to “allow a process to investigate the possibility of all citizens of the country to be buccally sampled, including infants at birth, for identification purposes”.

Where is this new bill? Where can it be read? I wonder if this will include the State's right to take DNA samples of all citizens and children at birth too?

Sounds more like an enforced data collection law... and these type of laws, in its application, can easily lead to 'corrupted' evidence. Police states are, simply, to clasp people by their eggs.

Jip, just look at the 10 commandments. "You shall not steal", but, centuries later, they're still stealing. En hulle los ookie die buurman se vrou uit nie.

Yeah and it fo-sho won't include corruption, apparently the National Treasury’s database of tender defaulters is blank. LOL, so much for RamaRenewal's new dawn & lots and lots of assurances about government cracking down on corruption.

As if giving top corrup Zuma medical parole wasn't enough of a giveaway, ne

Two things the marxists love: more laws and more bureaucracy.

I am sure this was a directive from China... Orders from Xi Jinping
"Yes President Ramaposa, you pass law, we give you more money, make load shedding go away, nice price"
