                              The minister should maybe concentrate more on rooting out corrupt officials who issue licences to members of the public who are not qualified to drive, says one News24 User.

                                I believe the rhinos have to be penned up in safe area and guarded 24/7 by competent and powerful forces, says a News24 User.

                                      The world envied our Constitution because it protected us all and it needs to stay intact because it is and always will be South Africa's beacon of hope, says a News24 User.
