JACOB ZUMA'S LEADERSHIP A JOKE
JACOB Zuma's little ship is sinking faster than the Titanic. You're not taking us as South Africans down with you. I think it's time for you to step down with all the dirt that everyone has on you already. You are a joke. Every time we hear something new about you we all just shake our heads.

DO Jacob Zuma and his cohorts think that the SA public are all stupid? We all know that public monies were illegally used to build the Nkandla compound. Must taxpayers support all those wives and children forever because of Zuma's sexual appetite? Nail him and make him pay instead of trying to pull the wool over our eyes. You go, Thuli Madonsela.

FIRST it was rape-gate, then Schabir-gate, then Nkandla-gate, then Gupta-gate. Which gate is next?

FAREWELL, BARRY HILTON
LIVING in Port Elizabeth must really be hell when even the comedians decide to leave town. Will the last one to leave please put the lights out? Farewell, Barry Hilton.

HOLE REPAIRED THE DAY AFTER REPORTING IT
I REPORTED a wide hole in Pheasant Road on the corner of Dove Avenue on November 18 to the roads department of the municipality. It was repaired the next day! Great service guys!

KEEP DOGS TO DESIGNATED AREAS
SADLY there was a savage attack by a big dog on a little scotty dog amid the bathers on Pollok Beach at the weekend. Pollok is a bathing beach, and as such dogs are prohibited for the safety and health of the public. Dogs are welcome from the Pipe southwards and if this is followed, it will make for a safe, healthy and happy festive season for Nelson Mandela Bay families (both human and doggy).

LOOK AFTER YOUR CHILDREN
AS long as we in the black community keep saying "your child is my child" or "a child is raised by a village", then rapes, murders and abuse won't stop. Look after your child 24/7.

WHAT is wrong with parents that they send their kids out on their own? When will they ever learn!

THERE are a lot of circumcised Christians around!

M BELL, why blame apartheid for the government's wrongdoings? It's people like you and the ANC that's to blame. Wake up and remove the blinkers.

DEDICATED teacher, name the school that is paying you the exploitative wage.
ANOTHER DEDICATED TEACHER
WELL said, Simon Sonderup. Even those like myself who were born in the '80s are sick to death of hearing about apartheid. We want a better life for our kids.
AL
WELL said, Simon Sonderup ("'Born frees' not interested in past", yesterday). Yes, we cannot let the past control our children's future. Apartheid was ugly, but let our children go forth unburdened, their future is bright. Forgive as you have been forgiven.

NOT everybody is happy with Itumeleng Khune's win. Come up with something positive for next year or shut up.

HAIR problem: Joyce Snooks's hairstyle was looking neat, according to the picture published on November 21. Her boss must have never seen that style before. We blacks appreciate neat hairstyles from our wives and sisters. Unless his judgment is one-sided or he was in a bad mood that day, that hairstyle is acceptable to other world standard employers. So Jennifer King, your doctor of 14 years is not always a perfect gentleman to others.

RATHER A SHOP THAN A SHEBEEN
"DANCEWEAR shop faces closure": I would rather have a dancewear shop in my street than a shebeen. This just goes to show where the ANC municipality's priorities lie. Why can it not be so strict on shebeens and home garages where you are kept awake without having even a Sunday with some peace and quiet? It is pathetic. I hope people will vote with their brains next year.

WHY'S MY NAME NEEDED FOR TICKETS?
I WENT yesterday to buy two unreserved tickets to the ODI game tomorrow and they wanted to know my name! What on earth for?

WHO'S CLEARING THE LAND?
CAN anybody shed any light on who is responsible for clearing the plot next to the MTR Smit Home? Sand is blowing all over into our homes!

WELL DONE ON SCRAP METAL SWOOP
CONGRATULATIONS for a job well done to Keith Blunden and his team for exposing the scrap metal business. They should all be jailed for defacing our once beautiful city. I guess they will all get off the hook because it all starts with our corrupt leaders in the city.

GETTING IT RIGHT
P FERRARIS's SMS published yesterday should have read: L de Bruin Herald 21/11/2013 refers, Malema, smell the coffee please, you are making us more of a laughing stock than we are already, your mentor, Zuma, has already written the handbook on how to become a banana republic, you do not need to endorse it.
