Cut off!The access road between the villages of Mankgele, Banarengand Makopung near Leboeng were severely flooded by therain and even graders had problems traversing the roads atcertain points. People had to walk huge distances as fewvehicles could manage to traverse the temporary bush roadover a grassy (and soggy) hill into the village (now readerscan see why Platinum Gazette personnel are not too eager toaccept invitations to informal 4 x 4 outings - we get it all in aday’s work). Makopung was not the only village affected byinaccessibility this week.

The forum was also attended by keyroleplayers from government such as the Officeof the Premier in Limpopo. The question andanswer session during the meeting proved to bevery popular and roleplayers went to greatlenghts to clasrify uncertainties and to explainthe working of the MQA.

Careful!

Careful driving is necessary when taking on the Abel Erasmus Passtowards the Strydom Tunnel. Part of the road caved away during theheavy rains. Especially at night the markers might not be visible enough.A dangerous hole on which Platinum Gazette previously reported is stillstanding strong after repairs to it - good work road construction team!

The recent heavy rains not only brought inconvenience tohumans and animals, but also some beauty. The waterfall onthe left was photographed at Lepelle Village Section 2, adjacentto Strydom Tunnel, this week.The photographs below were taken between Schoonoord andMohlaletsi Village on Saturday last week. Roads became riversand an abandoned donkey cart stood lonesome while theanimals waited for their owner to return after the rain.

International interest in OscarPistorius’ murder trial currentlybeing heard in the Pretoria HighCourt also placed the focus onSouth Africa as a country.Alan Dershowitz, an American juristand commentator told talk-showhost Piers Morgan on CCN thatSouth Africa is a “failed” and“lawless” country. He added thatSouth Africa has “deep, deep racialdivisions”.His appearance on the talk showwas at the start of the trial and sincethen the hordes of internationaljournalists had enough time toexperience South Africa’shospitality, observe the justicesystem and use things such ourbanking and telecommunicationsystems.According to Max du Preez, a SouthAfrican author and columnist afailed state is “classically defined asa state with a failed judiciary; aninability to provide public services orenforce its own laws; a state withmilitary interference in politics; astate that has lost the monopoly onthe legitimate use of physical forcewithin its borders; a state wherecitizens’ basic human rights areperpetually at risk”.Platinum Gazette asked readerswhether they agree with Dershowits’description of South African or not.They also motivated their answersand told the newspaper what theyfeel is something that works verywell in South Africa and can beseen as an example to the rest ofthe world.

Me. Marlene Prinsloo sê: “Ek stemsaam want nie almal hier word oordieselfde kam geskeer wanneer ditby wet en orde kom nie. Vir een isdit reg om met korrupsie en moordweg te kom en vir ‘n ander nie. Watgoed is by ons is die feit dat onsbaie meer open minded is as mensein ander lande. Ons gee ook om virons cultural heritage”. By haar isPeanut.

Mr George Maluleke said: “I think Iagree. With tender corruption andZuma’s Nkandla scandal we showthat we are lawless. We hear thingsand don’t know where it will end.What is good here is the fact thateven in tough economic timesSouth Africa has good jobopportunities compared to othercountries. Government is doing wellto encourage companies to employyoung people”.

Mr Godfrey Katlego said: “Yes,there is no control over crime inSouth Africa. We don’t have work,so people do crime. What is goodabout South Africa is that we have alot of mines”.

Me. Grace Shingange sê: “Daardieman het nie mooi van Suid-Afrikagepraat nie. Ons is nie so nie. Ekhou daarvan dat hier by ons kan diewit mense se koppe dink en helpdat Suid-Afrika reg loop al is daarbaie swart mense wat lui is”.

Mr Nice Poeng said: “No! SouthAfrica has good laws! We must lookat countries like Nigeria andZimbabwe where they still hangpeople. We are better than that. Ithink our justice system is anexample for the world”.

Mnr. Louis Pieterse sê: “As ons so‘n failed en lawless country was soumense nie vir misdade vasgetrekgeword het nie. Ons crime rate soubaie erger gewees het. Ons mensehier is baie nice en ‘n voorbeeld.Suid-Afrika is nie die skoonste pleknie maar dis die mooiste enlekkerste plek”.

Mnr. Willem Montgomery sê: “Ja,mense hier neem reg in eie hande.Die polisie doen of niks, of neem ookdie reg in eie hande. Kyk net hoe isdaardie ou in die Kaap sonder syklere aangerand. Dit pla die volk!Suid-Afrikaners se verdraagsaam-heid oor die jare is ‘n voorbeeld virander lande”.

Mr Mahlatse Selahle said: “SouthAfrica is not a lawless country. Youget a mix of people from countriesall over the world here. The problemis that these foreigners oftenbecome gangsters. I think we havegood banks and hospitals in SouthAfrica”.

Mr Mmusho Serage said: “No, Idon’t agree with him. This is ademocratic country. Our laws workwell and we let the law take itscourse like with Mr Pistorius. We dohave crime, but our lawenforcement officers are trying tocontrol it. Our justice system andlaws are an example to the world”.

Mr Leonard Bengura said: “Idisagree with him. If we werelawless people like Pistoriuswould not have been broughtto trial. I trust our justicesystem and think it is anexample for other countries.Just look at our track recordto put away criminals”.

Mr Kgaogelo Mpethi said: “No, itis not true. South Africa is nicefor us. Look at Malema. He wasspeeding and the cops caughthim and took him to court. SouthAfrica is not lawless. What I likeis our transport system. You cantravel anywhere you want - wehave taxis and buses.Government is also busydelivering electricity and water”.

Mnr. Quintin Krog sê: “Ja, hy is reg.Dit is soms regtig lawless en failedhier in Suid-Afrika. Die polisie iskorrup. As jy ‘n saak wil aanmeld wilhulle jou nie help nie. Ek kanongelukkig aan niks dink waar ons‘n voorbeeld vir ander lande is nie”.

Ms Anna Mamabolo said: “Weare not a lawless and failedcountry! There is everything weneed in this country”.

Ms Betty Rankwe and Ms Petunia Mahlosaid: “Yes, we agree with him. We aresuffering with our roads and schools andservices. Our government is so poor. Thereis also too much crime. What we like aboutSouth Africa is that we are together now asone. South Africa is free. We are onepeople and we have democracy”.

Left: Ms MP Maleka said: “No, ourgovernment is managing to improveour lives. The Pistorius thing wasjust an accident. It is a family affair,it should not be for the whole world”.

Ms Vinolia Majutla and Ms PetronelKwinika said: “Things in SouthAfrica are going fine. Crime is bad,but we are coping. Our justicesystem works just fine. South Africais a beautiful country - everything isbeautiful and an example to theworld”.

Right: Ms Pretty Masuku, JaneMaphanga and Rebone Mokgethwasaid: “It is lawless here. Even if theyknow some did something wrongthey just investigate, investigateand investigate, but don’t really dosomething. They only do things withhigh profile cases such asPistorius’. We like the freedom wehave. We are also ahead with cellphones, e.g. in Zimbabwe you don’teasily get network coverage”.

Is South Africa a failed and lawless country?
