Mettler is a DA cadre, he is very dangerous to the new administration.

Yeah, competence is dangerous to them in the extreme.

Polokwane 2007. The root of all of these issues.

Whatever happens, this has reached a point where it's no longer possible to sweep it under the carpet, it's a win for General Mkhwanazi, even if he had to sacrifice himself, he is a true patriot.

Somewhat telling that he'll finish his little brics holiday before dealing with something this critical to the country.

Lol..

President Ramaphosa said: “This is a matter of grave national security concern that is receiving the highest priority attention. It is vital that the integrity of the country’s security services is safeguarded and that the rule of law is affirmed.”

They'll shaft him and move on along same as all these years.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

He is already in high spin mode.

Just like all the state capturers only once met the Guptas...

No matter what you might think of him, General Mkhwanazi has earned the trust of the public, he has the moral high ground fully under his control.

His shafting is going to have massive political consequences, Zuma, who fired him is going to suddenly turn around and whip his minions into a frenzy, Juju is going to do the same, let's not forget the DA.

Besides the political opportunists, General Mkhwanazi has massive support on the ground from people like myself who are fed up with crime, I am afraid nothing is going to be easy with this one.

Public sentiment is with the General. They best tread carefully, it's not like the ANC is falling over themselves with voters.

People want to see politicians go to jail. If Ramaphosa was smart he would make Mchunu the fall guy to make this go away...

He played it perfectly. Should he meet with an untimely end, the outrage will be unlike anything we've seen before. And equally so if they now decide to act politically to fire him...

Is this a win or a loss for the ANC and its deployed cadres?

If you're so fed up with crime, it is time you vote DA so that a competent police minister from the DA is appointed. The ANC only knows how to be corrupt. Why can you not deliver an uncorrupt person to the police portfolio?

Ramaphosa wont do that. It'll accelerate his removal. To quote GRRM, "there's nothing so terrifying as a truly just man". Politicians may pay the lip service but they still expect to operate above the law. They can't have a man who might hold them to account.

I have no idea how they view it.

When an ANC voter says he is fed up of crime...
Things must be bad out there...
