For a video, go to a previous post. If, however, you were in Cape Town CBD, then you won’t need to watch the video because you will have seen what it all looked like. And what it still looks like. (Even beyond the city centre.)
And it seems that the mob union is threatening to bring Durban and Johannesburg to their knees, too.
A mob is always a mob – there’s no difference between them and the British rioters except that the Brits have laws and arrest those committing a crime. Here it’s the norm.
Jacoba, that’s an interesting thought. In the UK, union protests are a lot more restricted than they are here. Perhaps it’s something we should consider?
Of course we need to. No doubt about it but, at the moment, those hoodlums are breaking the law as the trash the streets. The laws exist and they’re breaking them. Cape Town has pretty substantial CCTV – so why the H@#% aren’t we arresting them? A few months in prison for malicious damage to property will remind them that we’re not living in Zimbabwe.
How about banning all strike action?
How do you propose doing that, given the laws of this land?
Go on strike. Ha ha.
