PRO BONO

Some members of the legal fraternity have offered their services free of charge to their favoured political parties with the hope of changing the current situation through legal means. A lot of work is happening behind the scenes.

MURMURS

There are murmurs of some infighting within political circles. It seems everyone wants a big piece of the cake. If the nation is put first, this may not happen.

EXHAUST

There is a serious need to get the machines that measure the amount of diesel exhaust from trucks and buses. Some buses can blind drivers following them with their exhaust. It is James Bond-like like but not healthy for the environment and the people.

LOW-JACK

Government departments and agencies need to install monitoring devices in all their vehicles. The speed at which some travel is not hilarious. This equipment would ensure better use of government vehicles.

RESPONSE

Response time from the police needs to be improved. A woman calling for help because a house invader was trying to force the back door open was told there were no vehicles to come to her aid. Luckily, family members arrived in record time.

WORLD CUP

“Four more years, boys, four more years," was spoken by Australian rugby captain George Gregan to the New Zealand team after Australia won the 2003 Rugby World Cup semi-final match. Four more years, Manu Samoa.
