My point exactly, and he is in jail, where McBride should have been.
It is amazing how the finer nuances of acceptability and appropriateness just pass people by.
How can people not see that, with reference to his various brushes with the law (both politically motivated and those of a common criminal), he is not suitable for the job of head of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate?
He has no believability.
He does not instill trust.
He is not an honest broker.
This guy is so toxic it has to make you wonder what sort of games are being played by the ANC. The ANC is not stupid, they know exactly what they are getting in Robert McBride: murderer, liar, thief, gangster, master manipulator. In short, a perfect candidate for a senior police deployment.
I recently read this about McBride
* Portugal refused to accept him as a South African ambassador;
* 1998 was in a Mozambique jail for seven months for gun-running
Since my source was not necessarily a credible one, I was wondering if anyone can verify this ?
