A high-stakes arrest with apparent links to a suspected gang boss. An unlawful police raid. And the City of Cape Town effectively blowing the whistle on itself in a corruption investigation that police say involves R1.6 billion, but which City officials say is a “grossly inflated” amount. These events are shaking the city’s political and policing landscape. Daily Maverick’s Caryn Dolley explains.

1. Evacute the innocent citizens
2. Drone strike all these criminals.
And the DA wants to make away with BEE. Can just imagine how that would go.
The system is being set up to privatize policing, which will be a big power imbalance problem.
Ja neh DA wat nou, you not so different
Hau Ma’Mkwanazi. Siya bongs!
The DA’s skeletons in the closet need to be found. They are good at covering up and providing narrative but soon they will be caught out. Anc and DA both are highly corrupt
It’s quite intriguing that the City of Cape Town is effectively exposing itself! It seems as if the DA is considered an invaluable asset and incapable of making any mistakes. But their federal philosophy suggests that their sole concern is their own interests.
The ANC and other parties will do everything possible to get rid of the DA in the Western Cape but we will stand strong as the only serious political party in the country
The ANC disgusts me. They are prepared to bring down the entire country to maintain their criminal activities.
