ICHEOKU says that this woman has not been fired from her job or relieved of her appointment is a further evidence of the rot which South Africa has become and the country's free-falling into mind-boggling decrepitude. Another testament that the number of imbeciles holding sway in Africa, as leaders, is unbelievably very high; in fact, they are legion. This is a country's defense minister who is tasked with protecting the territorial integrity of South Africa, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; but is here flailing her hands in total surrender to the brazen idiocy of hoodlums and mischief makers who are bringing a horrible name to South Africa.
ICHEOKU says for solution, how about putting the jackboots on their necks and forcibly making them to stop; and even shooting these animals, if it becomes the last resort. But in a region of Africa, where the late Robert Mugabe massacred 20,000 protesting Zimbabweans of Matabeleland; where thousands of South Africans were massacred in Soweto and Kwazululand during the Apartheid regime, this woman is now telling the world that rounding up a few hundred miscreants is an impossible task for a country's defense ministry to accomplish? It all shows that the homicidal maniacs who are fermenting the xenophobic trouble in South Africa operate with the government's tacit approval.
Where else in this world could such a sorry story be told, that a fully functioning government with its security agencies in tact, cannot protect the lives and properties of lawful residents in their country. This minister ought to have been fired since yesterday, her seat let another take who will seriously read the riot act to these munchkins and follow it up with tough law enforcement. What a huge joke this Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is, just another undignified fat dotard, who does not even understand her duties as the Minister of Defense.
What would Nelson Mandela say of today's South Africa an its spiral of death; a South Africa which he spent 27 years of his young life in prison because he was fighting for its liberation. What a sad commentary on idiocy that the country has become such an unwelcoming place and a place where fellow black Africans are publicly being lynched on the streets by nativists South Africans and the government seems to approve. The mouth which uttered this inanity ought to be ashamed of herself, to say the least. What a disgrace to the legacy and struggles of Nelson Mandela who gave it his all and also forgave it all. So sad and so pitiful that a defense minister could utter such.
