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.
