Xola, we can process this piecemeal, but let us not pretend we don't see the trap you're trying to lay.
We all agree unequivocally that Senzo’s directive was legally incompetent, ultra vires, and unconstitutional. But you do not get to stop the logic train there just because it suits your faction, let’s do the next steps of your piecemeal process.
Piecemeal Step 1: The Originator - If we agree the directive was legally incompetent, then the Cabinet Minister who consciously drafted and issued it committed gross executive sabotage against an active murder task team. Under Section 91(2) of the Constitution, that demands immediate executive removal by the President.
Why does your piecemeal logic outsource the instigator to an "investigative void" on fully-paid special leave?
Piecemeal Step 2: The Reality of Coercion - We know exactly where you are going with this: "Because it was legally incompetent, Masemola should have defied it under Section 199(6)."
But the #MadlangaCommission evidence already blew up that argument. Masemola didn't blindly execute it. He stalled the dissolution, rejected the immediate shutdown plan to protect witnesses, and escalated the crisis to the Presidency. You're trying to punish a civil servant for tactically managing a legally incompetent crisis created by your own Minister!
Piecemeal Step 3: The Presidential Silence - Let’s keep going piecemeal. Masemola informed @PresidencyZA about this "legally incompetent" directive on 1 February 2025. @CyrilRamaphosa confirmed he spoke to Mchunu but withheld the outcome and provided zero operational protection to the SAPS.
Does your "piecemeal accountability" apply to the Head of State who enabled the rogue directive, or does it conveniently stop at the police station?
Your "piecemeal" approach is just slicing up the facts to serve a predetermined political scapegoat. You want us to agree the order was bad so you can politically execute the cop who was forced to navigate it, all while ignoring the politicians who engineered and enabled it.
We see the playbook, Xola. Proceed to your next step!
Ivale, Comrade...

You don't get it. You ARE the boomers. Boomers aren't getting hired and nor are you and it's for the SAME REASONS.
Boomers don't give a shit how they come across because they think they are God's gift already. And you are the same. It's just "me me me" behaviour from both gens.
A poor economy can explain so many different crimes but rape isn’t one of them. You rape because you’re a rapist, there are no socioeconomic factors that influence that.

I wish adults got field trips. Why are we just going to work every day like that’s all there is to life??? Take us to the aquarium. Take us to the zoo. Take us to a museum. I’m tired of spreadsheets. I want to see penguins.
Take note: this is the result of privatisation of services in the UK. The next time same self righteous DA supporter wants to tell you private is more efficient.

@IanCameron23 What have you done to reform the police as the chairperson of the portfolio committee on police? You’re a legislator. Why are you writing articles like a regular citizen when you are literally in a position to effect change if that’s what you really want to do?
⚠️ URGENT: NEW KIDNAPPING SCAM IN SOUTH AFRICA - PLEASE SHARE ⚠️*
Ladies, please be careful in town, taxi ranks, malls, and parking lots. There’s a new method kidnappers are using:
*How the scam works:*
1. *The approach*: A man in a car stops next to you. He calls you by a name or says “Hey, get in the car! We’ve been looking for you.”
2. If you refuse and say you don’t know him, he immediately switches tactics.
He turns to people around and says loud enough for everyone to hear:
_“Don’t worry guys, she’s my wife. She has amnesia / she’s mentally ill. She gets confused like this. I just need to get her home.”_
3. *Why it works*: People don’t want to interfere in “family problems” or with someone who “has a mental illness.” So they look away. That’s exactly what he’s counting on. That’s how he gets you into the car. That’s the strategy
*IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU:*
- Do NOT get in the car for any reason.
- Be loud and specific*: Yell “*I DO NOT KNOW THIS MAN. THIS IS KIDNAPPING. PLEASE CALL THE POLICE AND HELP ME.*”
The word “KIDNAPPING” makes people react way faster than “I’m fine.”
- *Draw attention*: Drop your bags, sit on the ground, scream. Make it impossible for him to look normal.
- *Call for help*
*AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IF YOU SEE THIS HAPPENING:*
- Don’t assume it’s domestic. Don’t walk away, help the victim.
- Step in and ask the Scammer directly*: If they know the person they are trying to take, if they say yes, Ask the lady (victim) to whisper her name to you or the Lady(victim) to show you her ID…then Tell the scammer/kidnapper to tell you the name of that lady(victim) he’s trying to take.… if the scammer gets the name wrong it simply means he was trying to kidnap the lady….
- *Call 10111 or SAPS* right away and tell them you suspect a kidnapping.
- *Take details*: Car color, make, license plate, location, what the man looks like. Send to police and share to warn others.
Kidnappers are using our fear of “getting involved” and stigma around mental illness against us. Let’s not let it work.
*Please share this with your sisters, mothers, friends, coworkers, and WhatsApp groups.* One share could save a life.
Stay in groups where you can. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.

The 15 year old fighting for her sister has gone missing. The perpetrator threatened her, he said he will come for her next. The justice system seem to be failing
