S.Africa: Crime needs a holistic solution – As if that will actually happen!!

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The Law Society of SA (LSSA) on Friday called for an overhaul of the justice system to deal with crime in the country.

Co-chairpersons Vincent Saldahna and CP Fourie said the scourge of crime needed a more holistic and serious solution, which included the proper training and deployment of police, as well as a proper overhaul of the criminal justice system.

“Government is urged to give its undivided attention to finding such a solution, since the unacceptable levels of crime – particularly violent crime – are, among other things, a serious threat to our young democracy”.

They said the LSSA was committed to assisting the state in whatever way it could.

The LSSA also expressed concern at the statements made by the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security, Susan Shabangu, encouraging both members of the public and of the SA Police Service (SAPS) to use force against suspected criminals.

“Owners of licensed firearms, be they members of the public or the SAPS, must in terms of legislation be fully cognisant of their rights and responsibilities as contained in legislation governing the use of firearms,” they said.

They indicated that such statements might encourage members of the public to act unlawfully and take the law into their own hands. – Sapa
