DELIVERY THE NEXT WEEK

I POSTED a letter to Limpopo province on a Wednesday and it was delivered the following Monday.

READER

DOCTORS SPEAK OUT

SURELY the Hippocratic Oath trumps any employment contract?

MALCOLM D

THE rebel doctors were not out to embarrass the Health Department but to save it from further embarrassment. Fire Sizwe Kupelo, Siyanda Manana and Siva Pillay.

LEO

PAY OUT UNIFORM ALLOWANCE

SIZWE Kupelo, why must nurses in the East Cape province first protest before they get their annual uniform allowance?

NURSE’S HUSBAND

CRACKDOWN ON DRIVERS USING CELLPHONES

WHO is going to catch the law enforcement agencies who themselves use cellphones while driving and this happens here in NMB.

MOTORIST

YES! Confiscate the phones of those talking, not concentrating behind the wheel, yes, yes!

SARA

MOTHER TONGUE EDUCATION

MOTHER tongue is useless. The outside world uses English. How would they translate mathematics into Xhosa, Shangaan, etc.

MADNESS

FIRE UNDER-PERFORMING CIVIL SERVANTS

IF the ANC wants to take action against under-performing civil servants, great, fire the whole government from Jacob Zuma downwards.

JAN H

ENTRANCE FEE TO FESTIVAL

THE paper mentioned a R100 entrance fee to the Kirkwood Festival, "to keep poor out” or what? We still have support the stalls, put petrol in, etc! What’s up?

MS

DRINKING AGE

YOU can vote at 18, but cannot buy liquor until 21? What nonsense!

JOHN, GEORGE

ESKOM TARIFFS

ONLY in Africa, with the help of the Eskom muppets, could the volume discount be turned on its head.

ED

DROP FARES AND FOOD PRICES

THE petrol price is coming down again. How about a drop in taxi fares and basic foodstuff?

PENSONER

WHEN DOES OFFICIAL DO HIS WORK?

I JUST wonder when so-called "researcher” Gift Ngqondi does his work at NMBM. He is always on SAfm with lousy comments using municipal phones.

EDWIN

SHOULD THE DEATH PENALTY BE REINSTATED?

YES, the death penalty should most certainly be reinstated for blatant murders of innocent people.

JOE BRUINERS

I DO think the death penalty would show these people that murder is against God’s will. My utmost thoughts go with Garth.

LINDA, PORT ELIZABETH

BRING back the death penalty.

OBSERVER

BARRY, I think you are wrong. Men, if you murder someone you should be killed. Also if you rape, well it should be cut off.

ANONYMOUS

NO Barry, chain gangs would still be paid for out of our taxes.
