@waynes_world2 An ID is not an appointment on "labour laws" or "persons rights [sic]". It's an appointment regulated by the NPA Act, which regulates how the ID is appointed, removed or resigns [see ss12, 13 and 14 of the Act].
@LandNoli So, she views the process that has unfolded in the Madlanga Commission as "attacks", and not a mechanism to ensure accountability? This alone is a ground to refuse the request. She effectively wants to tell Madlanga - tomorrow - that she's "resigned" from her position. Crazy!!!
@drDendere Your point is much closer to the truth than has been said before. South Africans have hosted, and shared their lives with, millions of fellow Africans for decades, and continue to do so. The suggestion that, all of a sudden, they have "afrophobia" is lazy thinking by many.
@BonganiSiqoko@FlySafair Some of the responses to this "complaint" are rather strange. Is it really that our society has accepted criminality such that the victim of a crime is blamed for "being an enabler" of the crime? Really? Like "she asked for it by wearing a mini-skirt"?
@ahafsidz Algeria is one of the countries in Africa which needn't do this, considering their well-documented history of support to "Black" Africa. In any event, it would be great if "Lumumba" were to honour the invite.
@oluwashina People forget that for PROFESSIONAL football players, kicking the ball around, and participating in organised sport, is a job, just like writing articles [by "journalists"]. How many of these "journalists" would travel to and cover AFCON, if their salaries weren't paid?
@GardeeGodrich This statement is obviously factually inaccurate. It conflates what the SCA said in the context of a customary marriage concluded under one culture [say the Tswana culture] and another. The SCA judgment in paras 1, 12 and 13 makes it clear why the SCA found the way it did.
@darren_olivier I think the reality now, for any self-respecting state, is to strengthen its own protection machinery even if that includes acquisition of nuclear deterrents, however limited those would be, for the reasons you have given.
@darren_olivier I don't believe that anyone can fault the premise of your argument. Isn't the real challenge, however, that under a chaotic world like that which we are living in it is almost impossible to be "neutral" [in any form] AND still sustain friendship with the world superpowers.
@john_sukazi@ZANewsFlash This doesn't answer my question, from a civil law point of view [which is what Icebolethu can only rely on]. But I'll leave it there.
@john_sukazi@ZANewsFlash It's the "while doing crime" part that is a bit problematic. The statement by Icebolethu itself says "allegedly involved in criminal activity". If by Icebolethu's own version the conduct is still "alleged", what exactly is the basis upon which the claim is "excluded"?
