The Scorpions debate...

Yesterday in Parliament, President Thabo Mbeki said he supported the notion of a better and stronger police force that would fight against organized crime. This is after he was asked by an MP whether he was in favour of the total disbanning of the scorpions.

Almost a month ago...I was downtown at the ANC House (Luthuli House) for a media briefing on this whole "Alcohol being banned on Sundays" and when i came out, there was a man screaming: "Are you happy now"...He was holding a newspaper with the headline, "SCORPIONS TO BE INCOPORATED WITH SUPERCOP UNIT"..apart from the fact that he was a bit crazy..he had a point! I mean why disban one the most powerful force that fights against crime if the country [or should i say the president as well] is in favour of making sure there is limited corruption levels in SA.

I'll tell you why, the scorpions has actually been so good at fighting organized crime and exposed the Government officicials as the leaders of this type of crime in the country. Now to stop them from doing that..the ANC has decided to pull the plug for no valid explanation!!Is it just me or is our country facing a massive BLOND MOMENT..?actually our leaders need more accountability than they have ever needed before..!

Perhaps the death penalty should be brought back?

The Times published an article titled "Hang him, crowd bays at rape accused" (15th Feb 2008)..I started asking myself "What is our world coming to"?What is a person thinking when they decide to rape a seven-year-old little girl?It is because of such sinful acts that our country (or mostly the people on the recieving end of the rape) start to shout out for the death penalty to be brought back into our country! What do you think? I mean a mother is compelety shattered by this happening to her daughter, not to mention the little girl herself..maybe the government should seriously concider this issue..how else does one deserve to be punished for such?I know that in the end all these criminals and rapists will answer to our heavenly Father and i believe there is always space to repent over what they have done..Now the seven year old can no longer have kids when she grows up and that has happened to so many girls who have been raped..they still even continue to live with the trauma.!
