Whistle-blower: I'm not racist

Are there any racially black people on this forum that will denounce Cele for his actions, arrogance and attacks on the whistle-blower?
I denounce him for his racist attacks on the dumb whistle blower.:D He should have just arrested him (as the safety and security minister he could have easily arranged for that:D )
 
It was Ndebele the premier and not Cele the MEC for safety, security and transport. I think we are getting mixed up with various incidences here.

My opologies... :D just a different politician.. (all the same to me! .. money grubbing liars)
 
Bageloo all I can say is maybe you and Angelo should get together for tea or something.
We will make sure to invite you:D oh and you can bring us some koeksisters to go with the tea:D
 
I meant he could have been seen as threatening and therefore couls have been shot at.
The elected officials do carry a higher security risk than normal civilians hence the VIP protection arrangement.

Funny that you are one of the first to complain if someone shoots someone else and claims self defense but hasn't taken then time to access the actual threat.

I'm not defending the indefensible, but I think we are barking up the wrong tree by placing the blame at the VIP's doorstep. His bodyguards most likely make the decision about safe routes to take, safe speeds to travel at etc.

He is responsible for his retinue and his protectors. He is not a baby and is capable of making decisions. Sometimes people have to take responsibility. You can't always expect to duck accountability.

This time no law was broken. The law makes provision for vip protection unit to exeed the speed limits under emergency situations.
The person who broke the law was the whistle blower. His over-zealousness will land him in jail one day (or dead)

Please do explain how being late for a meeting constitutes and emergency. Failing that perhaps you will retract this statement?

According to the story, the department could not confirm who was driving the vehicle as the premier was overseas at that time. Where then do you get the idea that he was going to a meeting?

Here:

Cele said he was late for the launch of a pedestrian safety campaign in KwaMashu after his flight from Johannesburg to Durban was delayed by more than an hour.

This he argued, turned a "well-planned and scheduled meeting" into an "emergency".

What exactly is the problem with a speeding convoy. I would think they do us a favour by passing by quickly.:D But to go chasing after one just so you can snap along is just plain dumb, and smells of obsession. The guy could have been killed for Christ sake.

AND the motor convoy can kill no one? It happened recently AFAIK.

If it really bothers you so much use the button to report the offensive post or PM a mod. No need to pollute this thread with bickering.

Done.

Respect is a two way street and far too often these days I see the historical 'victims' of racial abuse forgetting this fact.

Meetings be damned. No meeting is worth the danger to someone's life.

The easiest way to assassinate a politician in SA would be to drop a smokebomb a car or two ahead of their convoy. Let panic and driving skill take care of the rest. Worst is, they'd deserve it, but the other people on the road wouldn't.

Wonder how that rifle-toting guard from not too long ago would have dealt with someone tossing a smokebomb in through his open window? Or even a pipebomb... it's not like they're difficult to make. And they call themselves security.

You need fish in your diet, sir.
