So our seven state guests did not make bail.

It's a good things as they'd do a disappearing act. Can't find any news article on it though.

However, full marks to all involved in the investigation, apprehension and prosecution. These guys are wrapped up tight, very tight! :)

How it's going for them ... appeal for bail denied:


...The celebration of SA’s achievement of a democratic and constitutional state may have taken longer than necessary. In this extended celebration, most of SA did not read, amongst others, the 1969 classic paper of Neil Postman delivered at a Teacher’s Convention, titled “Bullshit and the Art of Crap-Detection. It is for that reason that in many respects, SA became victims of what Postman called “bullshit” which manifested in pomposity, fanaticism, inanity, superstition and could be exposed by earthiness.


[97] I understood Postman to explain pomposity as the triumph of style over substance; fanaticism to stand on two legs of bigotry which had no tolerance for data that did not conform to one’s point of view and Eichmannism which was an acceptance of regulations and definitions without the realities of a particular situation; inanity as giving a voice and audience to people, whose opinions have little else but verbal waste to contribute to the issue at hand; superstition as ignorance presented in a cloak of authority and earthiness as a value system. Against the background of what Postman explained, SA no longer tolerates bullshit, and has its crap-detectors on. The Constitution of SA is not a Father Christmas in nobody’s country, who holds a shopping basket containing rights giving away the power to anybody to do anything against the values, integrity and ethics that good mothering taught, with no responsibilities.

Yep, my sister stays in Tableview which is next to Parklands. They moved into that area and it was like a virus spreading and infecting everything and everyone around them. Maybe the government should send them all back to Nigeria, you know like they doing with Zimbabweans at the moment.

You know what I find extremely sad, is that I walked in on a nest of 419 websites (low interest rate loans) the other day, most .co.za domains. I tried everything to report it, reported it to the cops, reported it to the web hosts, and even tried to get MBB involved, and not a single soul showed the least amount of interest in trying to prevent fellow South Africans from being scammed, or for investigating or reporting on it. SA has become such a crime nest that nobody is interested in anything relating to fighting crime anymore.
