We remembered him as the national commissioner of the South African Police Service who took no prisoners in the fight against crime, albeit his removal from the same position was for alleged misconduct.

While we fight off the strangulation by the rand, we now have to move in fear because any time is honestly tea time for one to be a victim of crime.
