Community Safety MEC Leonard Ramatlakane lambasted Zille's anti-drug protest and praised the police action. On Tuseday, he said Zille's actions smacked of "cheap politicking", "hypocrisy" and "grossly abusing her power as mayor and DA leader", instead of taking practical action in the fight against crime and drugs.
Ramatlakane said that if she, or anyone in the
community, wanted to march against drug dealers, they should do so lawfully.
"When the city police marched and blocked the N2, they were armed and in full uniform.
"She asked the police to intervene because they were contravening the law.
"When she does the exact same thing, she wants everyone to close their eyes to it. It shows hypocrisy and double standards on her part," he said.
Zille was arrested after demanding that the police explain the arrest of Moulana Armien Maker earlier, as he and Zille sought entry at the gates of homes suspected to be used in the drug trade. - Pretoria News

Dear Leonard
Yes.... "instead of taking practical action in the fight against crime and drugs."
Like spending R370 000 of taxpayers money to make your house a fort..? Nay.. a fucking castle... and how much of that R250 000 have you paid back and what interest rate are you having to pay?
After at least 20 robberies and muggings were reported on the mountain in 2007 alone.... you say "Crisis? What crisis? "
Like saying that those who stone cars on the N2 Highway near Cape Town, as being "hard to catch as they disappear into informal settlements."
Like being the boss of the useless police who don't know how to contain and deal with a protest march. "Everybody get bullets when you need them... see"
I don't know if you are hot or not, but I have a suspicion that you are a... h.tn.t
