Ramaphosa exploited taxi drivers death for political gain
15 September 2019
President Cyril Ramaphosa's comments, during his visit to the City of Tshwane on Friday following the death of taxi driver Jabu Baloyi, who was allegedly killed by drug dealers, were wholly misleading .
President Ramaphosa exploited Mr Baloyi's death for political gain.
The fact is that the South African Police Service (SAPS) is controlled by the national ANC government. The DA-led City of Tshwane has no jurisdiction over the SAPS, only the metro police that enforces bylaws.
The annual crime statistics released by the South African Police Service (SAPS) show how the police are failing to deal with increasing levels of crime such as murder, drugs and rape.
