RAMAPHOSA MUST UPDATE NATION ON WASHINGTON STRATEGY

/ GOOD Statement / By

President Cyril Ramaphosa owes the nation an update on progress. if any, with the nation’s diplomatic relationship with the US.

If the President has retained Mcebisi Jonas as his Special Envoy to North America despite knowing for months that the US government had denied him a diplomatic visa, as alleged by the DA, it does not augur well for South Africa’s hopes to dissuade Washington from imposing a minimum 30% trade tariff from next month.

MR PRESIDENT, WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR ANOTHER COSTLY COMMISSION

/ GOOD Statement / By

The President has now announced a judicial commission of inquiry, to be led by Acting Deputy Chief Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, with terms stretching over three to six months for initial and interim reports.
This is not good enough.
The appointment of a commission, while well-intentioned, is too slow, too cumbersome, and too costly. We have walked this road before, most notably with the Zondo Commission and we have seen that a commission of inquiry cannot replace a criminal investigation.

FOUR DEAD IN BISHOP LAVIS: BUSINESS AS USUAL

/ GOOD Statement / By

The Cape Flats was rocked by yet another mass murder on Friday night. Four adults were gunned down inside a home in Bishop Lavis. By Saturday morning, life had moved on. No heightened police presence. No wall-to-wall media coverage. No outrage. In the Cape Flats, violence has become so normalised that mass murder is met with a collective shrug from government and society alike.

BUBBLING XENOPHOBIA: STATE MUST STOP PUSSYFOOTING AROUND HEALTH CARE VIGILANTES

/ GOOD Statement / By

The State must send an unequivocal message to the xenophobes blocking access by foreign nationals to health care facilities in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal that people engaging in vigilantism will be arrested and prosecuted.

South Africans have every right to demand that the State uses the country’s immigration laws to control the inflow of foreign nationals, and every right to demand a government that radically improves the delivery of services and dignity to desperately struggling citizens. But they have no right to take the law into their own hands.

INTERFERENCE ALLEGATIONS: WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR ANOTHER COMMISSION

/ GOOD Statement / By

We do not have the luxury of time for another drawn-out commission of inquiry. People are dying while justice is being delayed and possibly denied. The explosive allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal’s Provincial Police Commissioner demand immediate and independent investigation by senior officials within the SAPS and NPA. The Commissioner must be protected as a whistleblower.
According to the allegations, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu unilaterally disbanded the Political Killings Task Team and redirected 121 active investigation dockets to the office of National Deputy Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sibiya, where they have allegedly been neutralised. If true, this amounts to political interference of the highest order and a deliberate sabotage of our criminal justice system at its most crucial stage – investigation.
