SAPS IN CRISIS: ANALYSIS: Cops and Mobsters — the many murky claims of Western Cape police officers cosying up to gangsters

There have been suspicions over the years that police in SA’s gangsterism capital, the Western Cape, are colluding with gangs — leaking information, plotting murders and running smear campaigns. A recent high court judgment adds weight to such theories.

Don't you think the usuals here on myBB and elsewhere, will not insist even more on the "KFC StreetWise 2" meme because of this?

Well, probably when your boss says you got poisoned but you just got some indigestion from KFC...

Possibly...Get some GFC...(apologies only for my poor PS skills...!)

If there's going to be a Commission of Inquiry for SAPS WC being possibly captured by gangsters (this will only happen if the WC ombud clears it), it will have massive repercussions nationwide and in WC.

And could give credit to ideas that there is/was a purposeful campaign for perpetually destabilizing WC via the gangsters. (Hell even uBaba personally met with one or two of them when he was President, can't remember the details, look it up in President's Keepers)

This was before they decided to not have the election today. Has been postponed.

But I wonder what the EFF voters would think if they coalesce with ANC in GP (or at the very least EKH and JHB). Would they only go "Halala CiC, the master strategist!!!", would they vehemently oppose such a coalition...?
A lot of questions to be asked.

Okay, so it's going to be either an ANC or EFF mayor.

Dissolve and re-run elections.

Dissolve and re-run elections.

The same should be done for Bloem tbh. And that place seems hellish going by news reports.

No one knows what will happen at this point.

Free State ANC | Resolution to recall Mangaung mayor

Once again, the Mangaung metro will undergo a leadership shake-up. The ANC’s top brass says the current leadership has failed to revive the battle-scarred metro.

They should really dissolve Bloem and re-run like Ditsobotla.

SAPS have been captured long ago.

Best to keep your nose clean, avoid roadblocks and avoid cops completely. Sad.

? Strange.

Can't find anything on N24. Perhaps an article they prepared in advance long ago that they accidentally posted...

If it was true, Mashaba would've done a surprise reveal and there would be another DA/ASA firefight...
