THE REC backs Jacob Zuma for re-election. Are you sick? But you are welcome to another African National Crisis.

NAME change for the African National Congress (ANC) to African National Corruption or Another National Crisis.

NCEBA Faku for mampara of the year! Viva African National Corruption!

KGALEMA Motlanthe must be the next president of our country.

BEFORE '94 I disliked the ANC, but must concede after 18 years my feelings have changed. I now loathe it with a passion!

IT is said we are a peace-loving nation. Why does our president need a bunker at his homestead? Just a thought!

COME on, Neale Emslie, what report on page 19 of Monday's Herald? I read what Craig Ray had to say, he only mentioned the score, the rest was waffle and excuses. Read it and see.

HEY, T Edge, Pirates scalp Amatuks! Sport headlines have nothing about the Boks. Please Emslie, we were embarrassed yes! But give analysis!

THE stench in the city treasurer's building foyer is disgusting – sies.

HOW can national news – eNCA – talk about someone being "thrown with a brick"? Was he tied fast to the brick and thrown? Unbelievable.

A MESSAGE on my phone says I won R450000 from a Coke promo held in the UK and details are supplied about who to call. Over my dead body. I won't be tempted, sorry Mike.

HEY Transnet pensioner, aren't you so lucky? We are pensioners too and don't get any increases at all, and as the months go by our pension gets less and less!

PUT up VAT – good idea from Nigel. Makes a great deal of sense.

ARNOLD Slabbert, you did a good job. What if the baboon attacked a human?

ARNOLD Slabbert too pleased and gloating with his trophy! Our wildlife conservationist! Who needs you with this empathy! Disgusting!

GOOD work, Mr A Slabbert. If a baboon acts like a hooligan, get rid of him.

DID you have to be so insensitive in the way you explained how you "took him"? I just see you as a killer!

PE, I'm an animal lover and am sorry about the baboon's death. The vets are worried about rabies in Port Elizabeth at this time, so let's not blame those who tried to help.

I AM a member of SAPS. There was no attempted escape, only an accident.

DEAR readers, if you thought that The Herald's photo regarding the cyclist who was killed was insensitive, you should have seen the photo in Die Burger.

I HOPE they throw the book at this drunken coward for killing this innocent cyclist and running from the scene. He deserves a life sentence.

WHY are rapists, murderers and other criminals allowed to cover their heads and faces in court? It shouldn't be allowed. They had no mercy for their victims.

HOOLIGAN of the day should have been the Department of Water Affairs for letting our rivers get so bad, not Kyle Main. We should be able to enjoy our rivers.

A 30m whale weighing three tons must have been anorexic or seriously malnourished.
