Black man 'shed blood' for you still on your own

Seventeen years into democracy comes freedom and that entitles the citizens of this country to air their concerns should they feel hardened by the ussual suspects (politicians) who make promises during election time only later to reneged BUT make no mistake...not in Mzansi!

Over the years there had been protests about lack of service delivery but what happened in Meqheleng, Free State shocked South Africa leaving the township in turmoil and a bitter pill to swallow. The act left majority engulfed with anger, question marks and doubts about police credibility.

The name Andries Tatane will go down our history as one of the warrior who posed no fear and never backed down in standing for what is rightfully his which most citizens are deprived of for close to 2 decades. Andries was brutally shot at on the chest with rubber bullet and beaten with batons by the police, as a result he died.

ANC has came under fire for being mum about the incident since the protest was caused by the officials they deployed to serve but failed.

I must commend the SABC Crew for bringing such barbaric act to people attention. It is therefore shocking to learn that the MMA (Media Monitoring Authority) are considering to charge the national broadcaster for playing the footage (I mean really...that's what viewers want to see as the last they saw such dispeakable deed was during Apartheid Era)

The matter has since been handed to ICD (Independent Complains Directorate) for investigation and 6 cops are arrested, hope they get locked up and throw away the keys for they don't deserve to be among human being.

# Meanwhile ANCYL President Julius Malema who is currently in court for the hate speech case brought by AFRI-forum for singing 'Dubula Ibhunu' urged his supporters to stop feeding the media (which he cited as 'ANC main opposition'). This comes after a witness in the very same case felt threatend by their presence. With the ruling party hell-bent in seeing the MAT (Media Appeals Tribunal) in action, the future of print media hang in balance and freedom of speech in tatters. Bear in mind how lately numerous editor's have had to issue retractions and a particular weekend newspaper worsening the situation by publishing articles that are baseless with unfounded facts. No wonder the ANC rendered the Ombudsman toothless!!!
