KZN (police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi) is doing a great job. We need to put him in our prayers daily. South Africa needs men and women of stature, those who can stand say not under my watch. That man must clean KZN as he is busy now after KZN, he must be elevated to be the national commissioner so that we drop the level of crime. In him we believe and trust. | Thabo Mokubedi

So much talk about the Afrikaners. Let them go. We  are fine without them. Can we talk about the illegal foreigners that are flooding our country as so-called refugees? Can we clean our own backyard before looking at the neighbours. | Daily News reader
