The President or Cabinet Ministers have no direct involvemnt in service delivery and for highly educated and knowledgeable people like the lawyers who took-out an ad for the attention of the President not to know about the functions of the President and Ministers is mind-boggling.

They can approach the President only if they have exhausted all other avenues including having have approached the Publc Protector and the Human Rights Commision and report a Minister for not doing his job and the President is not compelled to cooperate since he will have documents in front of him from those that you consulted and he can`t go back to them and say change your mind and help this person-but he can call the Minister to get his explanation so it was absurd for them and others to call on the President to fight crime.

The other issue here of pertinent concern its that these people in the past and presently have never committed themselves into the culture of equality,humanity,justice and good race relations.Even now they are not referring to general crime they want protection for themselves and to hell with the rest.

How can they say De la Rey was not a racist whereas he castrated and murdered blacks!What does his situation relate to the crime situation in this country?Von Blerk was not referring to crime but was aiding the conspiracy theory that there`s a genocide against Afrikaners and his was a call to war.

All that one needs to do is to submit a plan about crime patterns and how it should be fought i.e. is there a need for surveilance or just street patrol instead of blowing this whole thing out of all proportions and politicize it to disgrace,discredit and demonize the government.
