"INVINCIBLE" miners drank muti. Why is the traditional healer not arrested for murder?

THE unions are the real instigators of strikes, but disappear when all rampaging, looting and property damaging occurs.

MARIKANA massacre: 40 dead. From TB nearly 70 die every day (25000 in the past year). Why no fuss?

THE violence in South Africa starts from our leaders. Unions allow strikers to carry weapons. Even our president calls for his machine gun!

IT will not be long before whites get blamed for the mine massacre.

HOW can the Lions losers play any better for the Kings? When is Luke Watson going to earn his salary at the Kings?

SO Cheeky Watson is thinking of importing players from other provinces. Who worked hardest for the Kings? Our players who will be sitting on the sidelines.

THE report on the death of the doctor's wife was insensitive and sensationalist. More about rehashing a painful incident that can now be left.

THE report on Marcus van Heerden's wife's death was totally irrelevant to her death and purely sensation! Shocking reporting!

HATS off to Mtutuzeli Mgwali to see the majority of councillors for what they are: empty vessels. Besides, since when are they the employer?

YOUR reaction shows exactly how empty vessels you are. Mgwali is 100% correct.

CHRISTIAN Martin, where was your big mouth when elderly 0wen Charles was brutally murdered?

CHRISTIAN Martin, why were you so quiet when these people were being murdered in the townships?

DT, you kind of made sense but why tiptoe round the bucket? There is no god.

BARRY Sendall, it is not difficult to understand frustration and anger when officials waste, mismanage or steal other people's hard earned money!

SO sick to death of Denzyl Harper's "expert" opinion on everything. Does the man have absolutely nothing to do?

IT is just a pity two trustees will be charged in connection with the Bethelsdorp Development Trust. A long list of others benefitted, including full-time ANC members, except Bethelsdorp residents.

JUST drill holes through the bedrock. Water will drain away then.

WHAT's all the fuss about Mandla? The child is still a Mandela so if you can't have your own, adopt your brother's.

MANDLA Mandela is plainly looking for attention. I know him personally – he is a spoiled brat.

WELL done, electricity department! Replaced our street light pole in two weeks! Thank you!

MUNICIPAL workers' strike is not a "sit-in", looks more like a "dancethon"!

WALMER Township should not expand further. Rather move residents north. Coega is where the jobs are.
