SA must implement stricter immigration lawsA remarkable and significant development happened at the funeral service of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe at the weekend – the booing and then cheering of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Spot on, I fully agree. this is a dumb op-ed. first of all, south africa *did* tighten immigration laws after 2008. secondly, the author just low-key called south african police lazy & incompetent. also, housing and public order aren't better here, but most people don't realise it until it's too late.

They choose to play father christmas at our expense.

Court must move in with us, to talk with them. Cos we will spank them shame Probably the most idiotic decision ever.
