I know you probably got that from somewhere else, but using "bravo mikes" or '"bravo males" just seems so daft. I can understand using it in spoken communication, but everyone knows you mean "black males", and it being written/typed, there is no reason to call it anything else.

It was probably copied/pasted from another comms channel.
And if you know what it means, why does it bother you? :-)

Private security companies should be tax free. If you think about it we pay them because the police (whom we are paying tax for) are not doing their job.

Well the expense should be tax deductible, likewise anything stolen should be tax deductible if not recovered or reimbursed by insurance.

Robbers still at large after four-minute mall rampage

Johannesburg - It took a gang of brazen robbers just four minutes to steal an undisclosed amount of cash and a cellphone from a restaurant on Monday before they fled the scene.

So hasty was their robbery that security guards at the Joburg Mall of the South in Aspen Hills, where the eatery is located, were unable to stop them and the group is still at large.

This incident was the latest in a string of attacks at malls across the country.

The Mall of the South has been struck by armed robbers 10 times since opening in September 2015. This week, the group, brandishing firearms, entered the Debonairs franchise just as the business opened on Monday morning.

Here's what I don't get - all these phones have IMEI numbers that can and should be blacklisted making them unusable.

But why is that not happening?

They are only blacklisted in SA. These phones are then exported to other African countries.
