immune to this war zone that South Africans have to live in on a daily basis. A reply to a DA parliamentary question in July last year, revealed that there are 8l presidential protection officers for every one of the l7 politicians that they protect. Whilst our communities are locked in the brutal grip of crime, this government is spending Rl,5 billion on VIP protection for politicians. You cannot say you are serious about fighting crime and resourcing our stations when you are so careless and misdirecting so much money to keeping yourselves and your families safe while our citizens are kept captive with crime and criminality.
