I mean, we have scores of South Africans hooked onto the Madanga Commission and almost on a daily basis, there's yet another revelation that makes us all feel slightly despondent when it comes to crime fighting in South Africa.

The statement of General Massimo, I think, is just to restore stability for now.

I really don't think that it can take five months, and I think this is just an interim arrangement.

Probably, I doubt if he'll get a second term.

uh moving into 2037 because um the withdrawal of charges does not mean he cannot face disciplinary you know because he failed in the in stewardship and probably this was just to avoid a big uh hoo-ha between the police commissioner and the president, you know, because the murderous fight, if he's fired now and he's left with five months and they run to court, that does not help the situation.

So rather have him finish the next five months, but in the interim for that five months, probably that will give the SAPS and the political principalship to come up with a very solid plan.

Well, that is what I would do, you know, come up, use the five months to come up with a very solid plan on how do we regain public trust.

What are we doing wrong in selecting the National Police Commissioner in South Africa, do you think?
